“Must-Watch: Viral Video Sparks Pleas for Indian Railways to Appoint Heroic Stray Dog as Footboard Safety Officer”

0

New Delhi : -In a heartwarming viral video, a stray dog is winning the hearts of netizens as it runs alongside a moving train on a platform, seemingly attempting to interact with passengers on the footboard. Ananth Rupanagudi, an Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) officer, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share the video, praising the canine’s efforts in promoting safety.

In his tweet, Rupanagudi expressed, “The best assistance rendered in a drive against footboard traveling.” The video, posted a few days ago, has garnered over 1.56 lakh views and numerous comments. Many users are suggesting that the Indian Railways consider hiring the dog to discourage commuters from risking their lives by traveling on the footboard, a common occurrence in India due to overcrowding.

One amazed user commented, “Is this for REAL!! Initially thought the dog was looking for a space in the compartment.” Another suggested, “RPF could consider engaging one of their duty dogs. Imagine a Doberman or a Belgian Malinois doing this.” Calls for the dog’s recruitment extend beyond social media, with users proposing that the canine and its companions be stationed at Mumbai stations to assist in preventing people from getting on or off moving trains.

Expressing concern for commuter safety, a user suggested, “Seriously, he should be given an appointment in Railways. Many western countries have done so in their orgs. Let this be 1st in India.” The online campaign highlights the potential of this four-legged guardian to contribute to railway safety, resonating with the public’s desire for innovative solutions to address common challenges.

Tokyo, January 2, 2024 : In a devastating incident at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday, a Japan Airlines passenger jet collided with a coast guard plane, resulting in five fatalities. Local authorities confirmed that all casualties were on board the coast guard aircraft. The Airbus A350, carrying 379 passengers and crew, caught fire and skidded down the runway after landing. Miraculously, all occupants of the commercial flight managed to escape before the Japan Airlines jet was engulfed in flames.

Yoshinori Yanagishima, spokesperson for the Japanese coast guard, reported that the pilot of the agency’s Bombardier Dash-8 plane successfully evacuated and contacted officials, but sustained severe injuries. Dramatic footage aired by Japanese state broadcaster NHK depicted the Japan Airlines jet ablaze moments after landing. Videos shared on social media captured passengers inside the aircraft preparing to evacuate as smoke filled the cabin.

Jonas Deibe, a Swedish passenger on the flight with his family, described the chaotic scene as smoke quickly filled the cabin. “We threw ourselves down on the floor,” he said. “Then the emergency doors were opened, and we threw ourselves at them.” Chaos ensued as passengers fled into a field, uncertain of their surroundings.

Japan Airlines confirmed that Flight 516 had departed from Sapporo’s Shin-Chitose airport in Hokkaido, while the coast guard plane, en route to Japan’s west coast for earthquake relief efforts following New Year’s Day tremors, was involved in the collision. The earthquakes have claimed at least 48 lives as of Tuesday.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has ordered prompt assessments of the damage, and updates on the incident are expected to be communicated to the public swiftly. Haneda Airport has temporarily closed all runways in the aftermath of the collision, according to a spokesperson.

Fuel Crisis Grips Hyderabad as Motorists Queue Up; Petrol Pumps Run Dry Amid Protests

0

Hyderabad, January 2, 2024 – Petrol pumps in Hyderabad, as well as in several other cities across the country, are facing severe shortages, triggering long queues of motorists anxiously attempting to fill their vehicle tanks. This surge in demand is a consequence of ongoing protests by truck drivers against a provision in the recently enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which replaces the colonial-era Indian Penal Code. The new law stipulates strict penalties for hit-and-run accidents, including up to 10 years of imprisonment or a fine of Rs 7 lakh for drivers who cause serious accidents due to negligence and flee the scene without reporting to the police or administration officials.

In Hyderabad, petrol pumps have already run dry, prominently displaying ‘No Petrol’ boards, leaving commuters stranded and concerned about the potential escalation of the fuel shortage. The impact is not limited to Hyderabad alone; Mumbai and Nagpur are also witnessing extensive queues at petrol stations, as people rush to secure fuel amidst the truck drivers’ protests.

Chetan Modi, President of the Petrol Dealers Association in Mumbai, reported disruptions in fuel supply to petrol pumps due to the ongoing agitation by truck drivers. He warned that if the supply chain issues persist, a majority of pumps would exhaust their fuel reserves soon.

Simultaneously, Jammu and Kashmir are experiencing fuel shortages, with massive queues forming at fuel stations. The truckers’ strike against the stricter penalties outlined in the new law has triggered panic buying, resulting in 90 percent of petrol pumps going dry in Jammu. The J-K fuel station owners’ association predicts that all remaining stocks will deplete in the next few hours as approximately 1,500 tankers carrying fuel to the Union territory and Ladakh remain on strike.

Rumors are circulating that if the truck drivers’ protests persist, a significant number of petrol pumps across the country may face shortages. In Nagpur, panic buying ensued as truck drivers’ protests continued, leading to a surge in people queuing up at petrol pumps since Monday night.

As the strike by some truckers’ associations enters its second day, approximately 2,000 petrol pumps, primarily in western and northern India, have already run out of fuel stocks, intensifying concerns about the potential widespread impact of the ongoing protests on fuel availability.
