उद्धरेदात्मनाऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्।

आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः”॥

📖 Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 6, Verse 5)



💡 Persons should lift themselves by their own efforts, not degrade themselves.

Because you are your own best friend and your own worst enemy.

INDIA: (GOI, SWARAJYA, VISHWAMITRA, HINDU POST, INDIA TODAY).

Of the 60,06,675 names under adjudication in West Bengal after they had been left out of electoral rolls, 27,16,393, or 45.22%, stand “deleted”, as per the first such data shared by the Election Commission of India.

Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) has installed an Early Warning System (EWS) on the banks of the River Beas to alert people in time of the releasing of excess water to ensure their safety.

Odisha has emerged as a frontrunner in the implementation of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation, AMRUT 2.0, achieving significant progress in urban infrastructure and water supply.

India has dispatched a consignment of 250 Metric Tonnes of food grains to Seychelles.

IRAN WAR:

Iran informed it has accepted a two-week ceasefire, with negotiations to begin on Friday in Pakistan’s Islamabad, after US President Donald Trump said he would suspend attacks subject to Tehran agreeing to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s foreign minister says safe passage through the key waterway will be possible for a period of two weeks via coordination with Iranian armed forces.

IRAN’s 10 point Plan:

“Controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces, which would grant Iran a unique economic and geopolitical position,”

“The necessity of ending the war against all elements of the axis of resistance,”

“The withdrawal of US combat forces from all bases and deployment points in the region,”

“The establishment of a safe transit protocol in the Strait of Hormuz in a way that guarantees Iran’s dominance according to the agreed protocol,”

“Full payment of Iran’s damages according to estimates,”

“The lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council,”

“The release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad,”

“and finally the ratification of all these matters in a binding Security Council resolution.”

Iran does not trust the US and will allocate two weeks for these negotiations. This time can be extended by agreement of the parties. Iran will sit on table, with hand on TRIGGER!

I don’t think any of the above is acceptable to USA. WILL ISRAEL  BE A PARTY TO DISCUSSION?? And what about development of Nuclear weapons by IRAN??

The Ukrainian president has said that it’s unfortunate the 15-member body has “once again failed” to “act decisively” to respond to Iran’s “blockade” of the Strait of Hormuz.

“No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a lengthy post on X.

Only moments after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the US and Iran on Tuesday, Tehran launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel, Dubai, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Air-raid sirens went off in several parts of Israel, The Times of Israel reported, citing the IDF. No immediate injuries were reported. Four people, including a child, have been injured in Qatar after debris from intercepted missiles fell on a house, Qatar’s Interior Ministry says.

Republicans on Capitol Hill have given Trump the authority  what is essentially a blessing. They say it has long been a concern that Americans in the region have been killed by Iran and that threats continue.

They believe it is time that a president like Trump takes action against Iran, and they are backing him and his threats of further military action.

The Indian Navy is intensifying its maritime operations to safeguard energy tankers traversing through  the volatile Strait of Hormuz as conflict continues to destabilise traditional shipping routes. This strategic escalation is part of a dedicated mission known as Operation Urja Suraksha, specifically designed to escort and protect India-bound vessels carrying essential fuel supplies.

Will this CEASEFIRE be the LAST TRAIN TO PEACE IN THE REGION??
