Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure are not random, they are deliberate, calculated strikes designed to terrorize civilians, destabilize daily life and undermine morale. Yet, Ukraine stands resilient. Its people refuse to be broken, and the world is watching. NATO reaffirms unwavering support, with Secretary General Mark Rutte emphasizing that the Alliance will stand by Ukraine not only in words but in decisive action. WATCH 

Maharashtra is in deep mourning as Ajit Pawar (1959–2026), the veteran Deputy Chief Minister and NCP stalwart, tragically lost his life in a plane crash in Baramati. The Learjet 45, operated by VSR Aviation, attempted an emergency landing after departing from Mumbai but veered off the runway, exploding into a fireball. Eyewitnesses reported a sudden jolt before the aircraft hit the perimeter field, leaving no survivors. The devastating crash claimed the lives of Ajit Pawar, his personal security officer, an attendant, the pilot-in-command, and the first officer. Emergency responders arrived promptly, but the intensity of the blaze prevented any rescue efforts. Known affectionately as “Ajit Dada”, Pawar’s political career spanned over four decades, serving as Deputy Chief Minister six times and representing Baramati as a seven-time MLA. WATCH
