Warship Collision Sparks Diplomatic Protest
On September 15 evening, a Pakistani naval ship approached an Indian frontline warship at high speed in the North Arabian Sea. It maneuvered unprofessionally and unsafely, causing a collision. No major damage was reported, but the incident violated a prior agreement on safe operations in international waters.
India summoned Pakistan’s deputy high commissioner in New Delhi on Wednesday. The foreign ministry described the Pakistani navy’s behavior as ‘unacceptable and unprofessional’. India lodged a strong protest and urged adherence to existing maritime agreements.
Dipke Launches Tribal School Fix Campaign
Cockroach Janata Party chief Abhijeet Dipke announced a new initiative called ‘Adibashi School Thik Karo’ (Fix Tribal Schools). He launched the campaign on Wednesday in Nagpur, Maharashtra. This follows his earlier ‘School Thik Karo’ drive.
Dipke stated that despite 80 years of independence, tribal schools have seen no development. Successive governments have ignored tribal communities’ educational needs. The campaign will inspect tribal schools to assess facilities and learning conditions.
Bengal’s Annapurna Yojana Scales Up
