Air India will stop using Turkish Technic for aircraft maintenance. CEO Campbell Wilson said the airline wants to respect public feeling. This follows Turkey’s support for Pakistan during recent tensions. India has already blocked IndiGo from using Turkish aircraft and cancelled clearance for Turkey-linked Celebi. Some Air India planes will now go to Abu Dhabi, Singapore, or be serviced in India. Due to Pakistan’s airspace ban, flights to North America are taking longer and costing more. Wilson said only a few nonstop routes are affected. The airline hopes things return to normal soon, but for now, changes are needed. (PC: NDTV)

A team of Indian MPs, led by Ravi Shankar Prasad, is visiting the UK to raise global awareness on terrorism. Their goal is to expose Pakistan’s support to terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba.

They moved to Trafalgar Square. Intelligence officials said this was a desperate move by ISI to divert attention. The strong turnout from the diaspora showed unity against terrorism and growing concern over Pakistan's role in supporting extremist groups. (PC: Image/CNN-News18)

Israel has denied firing at a US-backed aid centre in Rafah, Gaza, where 31 people were reportedly killed.

Sharmishta Panoli, a 22-year-old law student from Pune, was arrested by Kolkata Police for allegedly making communal remarks on social media.
