35 Somali pirates taken to India

  35 Somali pirates taken to India The Indian Navy handed over 35 Somali pirates to the Mumbai Police on the 100th day of its anti-piracy operation in the Red Sea.  After nearly a decade of inactivity, pirate violence in the Red Sea is on the rise again. India is the most militarily powerful country in the Gulf of Aden and northern Arabian Sea.  The Indian Navy has launched an anti-piracy campaign to suppress piracy in the region due to a sudden increase in important sea routes. As part of an operation last week they seized the Malta-flagged cargo ship MV Rouen and rescued 17 crew and arrested 35 Somali pirates.  The MV Rouen was hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia last December. Pirates are believed to have recently hijacked the Bangladesh-flagged cargo ship MV Abdullah using the MV Rouen and taken 21 Bangladeshi sailors hostage.  The 35 pirates arrested by the Indian Navy can be sentenced to life in prison under the country's Anti-Piracy Act 2022.

  2000 rupees to buy a bucket of water! Hakar in Bangalore Bengaluru is in dire straits for drinking water, even for daily use. The situation has reached such a terrible level that to buy a bucket of water from outside one has to calculate 1000 to 2000 rupees. In some cases even that price is being exceeded. For the past few days, pictures of such 'water woes' have been emerging in Bengaluru.  The local administration claims that the demand for water has increased as most of the tube wells in the city have dried up. To meet that demand, even when buying water from outside, the local residents are suffering because of the price.  The housing authorities of the city have already issued a notice to the residents, not to waste water in any way. Not only that, water consumption should be reduced by 20 percent every day.  If someone does not obey this 'rule', then he has to pay a fine of 5 thousand rupees. As a result, the residents are in more trouble.  Not only that, in suc
