My latest!

This is the result of a year long investigation into the dark world of #IUUfishing & slavery at sea.

It exposes the complex web that lures Indian fishers to get #trafficked into Oman, to work in illegal fishing.

पश्चिम एशिया संकट की वजह से समुद्री नाविकों को किस तरह की मानवीय संकटों से गुज़रना पड़ रहा है!

ओमान तट के पास से MT Celestial के कैप्टन की मदद की पुकार

35 साल के सेकंड ऑफिसर तमिलनाडु के निशांत उर्थनाथन 11 जून को बहुत बीमार पड़ने के बाद गुज़र गए।

उनकी बॉडी 2 दिन से ज़्यादा समय से जहाज़ पर ही है और उसे ठीक से रेफ्रिजरेट नहीं किया गया है। चालक दल डेडबॉडी को डिकॉम्पोज़ होने से बचाने की कोशिश में ठंडे पानी की बोतलों का इस्तेमाल कर रहा है।

यह जहाज़ पर मौजूद बाक़ी नाविकों की मानसिक और शारीरिक सेहत के लिए ख़राब स्थिति है।

बार-बार मदद की पुकार के बावजूद, इलाक़े के तनाव के कारण समय पर मेडिकल इवैक्युएशन में देरी होने की ख़बर है।

FSUI और कैप्टन तुरंत बॉडी को सुरक्षित रखने/वापस लाने, क्रू को सपोर्ट देने और बचाव में नाकामियों की पूरी जांच की मांग कर रहे हैं… अधिकारियों को तुरंत कार्रवाई करनी चाहिए।

No regrets expressed in the statement even. Imagine Russia doing this and we shall see the western world rise in condemnation.

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?

Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?

Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?

This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

[Indian Air Force @IAF_MCC]

The Indian Air Force deeply regrets the loss of five personnel in the An-32 accident at Jorhat, Assam.

Sqn Ldr Prashant Singh, Flt Lt Shubham Kumar, Sgt Jitendra Sharma, Agniveervayu Khemaram Kumawat and Agniveervayu Danish Alam made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

IAF extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved families and stands firmly with them in this hour of grief.

Reminded how a few years back there was a flood of experts on decolonisation and yet that lot disappeared when the USA opened up about it's imperialistic goals with scant regard for international conventions. Truly decolonised the world is now. Understandable scholarship.

[Jeff Joseph @jeffjosephpaul]

Not an iota of regret, no introspection on why they didn't question a case that collapsed so easily. No integrity. Jai ho!

[Navika Kumar @navikakumar]

Mr Das, agencies investigated, built the case, and when the case collapsed, that was reported too.
Journalism isn’t stand-up comedy, we don’t improvise facts for applause.
Also, you don’t get to decide when I can or cannot speak on women. The FoS brigade often seems to have a problem with other people’s freedom of speech.
I recommend yoga and meditation for a calmer mind. Also, keep your gyan to yourself.

[Jeff Joseph @jeffjosephpaul]

Why issue the statement if India cannot even name the one who did it.

"At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela,.. " says Trump. Crazy any way you look at it.

We have learnt of an incident involving a vessel off Shinas port of Oman, earlier today . We are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with the local authorities for further details.

@ananthkrishnan All that's left is for it to be called the Trump cup. But the cricket worldcup was the same tea in a different cup. And it wasn't shifted either. So glass house and all.

Note left behind by a NEET aspirant who killed herself

"Mom and Dad, you had faith that your daughter would study hard and become a doctor, but I no longer have the courage to take the NEET exam again. I was scoring good marks in my first attempt, but now there is no guarantee that I will perform well again. I am sorry, Mom and Dad. I have ruined everything."

Indians abroad are dead scared about the prospect of returning. It is the governance vaccum they are vary of the most. Given the present state of affairs, one cannot be surprised if the milk was coloured water. Air and water toh are poisoned for sure.

[Rachel Chitra (David) @rachelchitra]

1/10 India's deadliest aviation disaster - the Air India 171 crash, killed 260 people. But it didn't just take lives, it also took down people's reputations with it - one pilot was labelled suicidal, the other panic-stricken. But evidence shows neither were.

In my in-depth, long form investigation for @Caravan, I use the plane's satellite transmissions, maintenance records and internal correspondence for a decade between Air India and Boeing -- to show it was engine computer FADEC that was guilty and not the pilots.

At around 08:08:44 UTC, the plane's computer FADEC commanded a fuel cutoff and this is the story of how and why it did so.
