Akasa Air doesn’t see any curtailment of flights due to the new pilot rest rules even though it has planned an exponential growth and international foray this summer, CEO Vinay Dube. Dube is a co-founder of the airline which started in 2022 and is backed by the family of late stock market investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. “We should rather applaud the regulator for their continuous focus on safety rather than talking if there will be two or three pilots short. We have 24 aircraft and around 700 pilots now which is plenty not just for the current fleet but also for the aircraft that will be delivered later. We will maintain a reliable schedule and there will be no flight cancellations,” Dube said.

Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel must not be afraid of an investigation against him in the alleged Mahadev betting app scam if he is innocent. In an interview with PTI as his government completed 100 days in power on Thursday, Sai exuded confidence the BJP would win all 11 Lok Sabha seats in the state as people are eager to see Narendra Modi as prime minister for a third term. He, however, added his party is not overconfident and does not consider the opposition weak. Asked about Baghel claiming he was being implicated in the Mahadev online betting app case, Sai said the former CM should not be scared at all if he is innocent. The state Economic Offence Wing (EOW) earlier this month registered a case against Baghel and 18 others in the betting app «scam» on a report submitted by the ED, which has been probing the alleged money laundering part. Asked about alleged selective action against Baghel, Sai said «an accused never admits his/her offence.» Speaking about the works of his government, which came to power following the Assembly polls in November last year, the 60-year-old Sai said he had launched the BJP's Lok Sabha campaign from Bastar on Wednesday and the massive turnout in sensitive areas like Narayanpur showed the level of people's support for the party.

districts affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE) across 10 states after their number came down by almost half in the past nine years, officials said on Thursday. Sharing the list with the director generals of police concerned, the officials said a total of 38 districts across these 10 states are categorised as LWE-affected with effect from April 1, 2024 compared to 75 in 2015. The categorisation of the LWE-affected districts in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Telangana and West Bengal provide the basis for deployment of resources under the National Policy and Action Plan, approved in 2015, to combat LWE holistically.
