During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to Jakarta, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto praised his leadership, stating, "I openly admit that I follow your career, and I copy a lot of your programmes, and it's proving to be successful for us." Indonesian President also highlighted shared demographic and agricultural challenges, acknowledging India's developmental progress. The diplomatic visit marked a significant step in India-Indonesia bilateral relations, resulting in the signing of fourteen Memorandums of Understanding. Key agreements include defence, trade, critical minerals, maritime security, and strategic connectivity. Notably, the nations finalised a defence procurement contract for multiple variants of BrahMos missile batteries and Astra Beyond Visual Range missiles, to be integrated with Indonesia's Su-30 fighters. Indonesia has emerged as the first country to formally initiate procurement of these Indian defence systems. The visit further solidifies cooperation across sectors including agriculture, education, and intelligence sharing, reflecting India's growing role in global defence exports.
A chilling CCTV video of the massive landslide in Kerala's Wayanad has gone viral on social media, capturing the terrifying moment tonnes of mud and debris came crashing down near the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi twin tunnel project. The footage shows thick slush barrelling down the hillside, uprooting trees and engulfing the area within seconds as people scramble to safety.
A massive landslide triggered by heavy rains has struck the Kalpetta Tunnel project site in Kerala's Wayanad, leaving at least seven workers feared trapped under the debris.
Heavy rains in Maharashtra have triggered a significant landslide on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, causing severe disruptions to vehicular and railway traffic. The landslide occurred around 4:00 AM on Monday near tunnel number 40, directly impacting the recently inaugurated missing link section. As a result, the concrete slab on top of the tunnel collapsed, blocking the route from Pune to Mumbai. Vehicular traffic has been diverted to the older route, leading to considerable traffic jams and slow movement. In response to the crisis, railway authorities immediately halted operations, safely bringing back two trains travelling from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to Bangalore and from Daund to Gwalior. Furthermore, a total of 18 trains have been cancelled, including 14 operating primarily between Mumbai and Pune, as well as services to Solapur and Dhule. Restoration work is currently underway, though efforts are hampered by heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Officials estimate that clearing the debris and restoring full connectivity will take several hours.
