Dangal Actor, 19, Died Of Rare Inflammatory Disease: Family

Actor Suhani Bhatnagar, who played young Babita Phogat in Aamir Khan-starrer wrestling drama 'Dangal', died in Delhi yesterday. Her family today revealed that she was suffering from Dermatomyositis, a rare inflammatory disease that causes skin rash and muscle weakness.
The 19-year-old was admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences on February 7 and died on February 16 after medical complications.

The family said that the symptoms showed two months ago while she was diagnosed with the disease only ten days back.

"She developed a red spot on her hands about two months ago. We consulted with doctors in different hospitals but it couldn't be diagnosed, said Suhani's mother Puja Bhatnagar.

She was admitted to AIIMS after her health started deteriorating.

Suhani's father Sumit Bhatnagar said there was no improvement in her health and eventually her "lungs got damaged due to an infection and accumulation of excess fluid".

"She was put on the ventilator but there was no improvement," he said.

Her father claimed that there are only five to six people all over the world who have been diagnosed with the disease.

Dermatomyositis is a rare inflammatory disease marked by muscle weakness and a distinctive skin rash. It can also affect other organ systems such as the pulmonary, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems.

The cremation of Suhani Bhatnagar, who was a resident of Faridabad, took place at the Ajronda cremation ground.

She had appeared in the 2016 biographical drama about a wrestler who mentors his two daughters to success. Zaira Wasim played young Geeta while Bhatnagar portrayed the role of Babita. The grown-up versions of the characters were played by Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra. Aamir Khan played the role of their father, Mahavir Phogat.

Aamir Khan's production house also condoled her death: "We are deeply saddened to hear about our Suhani passing away. Our heartfelt condolences to her mother Poojaji and the entire family. Such a talented young girl, such a team player, 'Dangal' would have been incomplete without Suhani".

Suhani had taken a break from acting to complete her studies.

'Kavach' System Successfully Tested In Vande Bharat Train

The Agra railway division on Friday successfully tested an automatic braking system installed in eight-car Vande Bharat trains as part of the indigenously developed anti-collision device 'Kavach', an official said.

"In the first-ever trial, the loco pilot did not apply the brakes and still the train, running at a speed of 160 kmph, automatically stopped 10 metres before the red signal. This parameter will now be freezed for all eight-car Vande Bharat trains across the country," Agra Railway Division PRO Prashasti Srivastava told PTI.

All Vande Bharat trains are fitted with a 'Kavach' system which can apply brakes on its own in case the loco pilot fails to do it due to any reason. Since this system needs several other components such as station Kavach, RFID tags throughout the track length and Kavach towers along the tracks to work simultaneously, the Indian Railways is in the process of implementing these components across its network to enhance operational safety.

Under the supervision of Kush Gupta, Deputy Chief Signal and Telecommunication Engineer, North Central Railway zone, the trial started at 9:30 am between Mathura and Palwal and the whole exercise was repeated in both up and down directions till 2 pm.

Ms Srivastava said that the exercise will now be done for 16-car Vande Bharat trains.

Before this trial, the Agra division, under the supervision of Mr Gupta, successfully conducted two more Kavach trials at 140 kmph and 160 kmph for other mail and express trains.

The Agra division has developed a complete Kavach network on the 80-km stretch between Mathura (excluding the station) and Palwal. This involves the placement of RFID tags on railway tracks in station areas and other places, the installation of stationary Kavach units at several places such as stations, and the installation of towers and antennas along the tracks.

The Kavach system, developed by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), can apply brakes automatically in case of an emergency when a train driver fails to act in time.
According to RDSO officials, a 125-km stretch in three parts between Delhi and Agra is the only stretch across the entire rail network where trains can run at a maximum speed of 160 kmph.
Trains run at a maximum speed of 130 kmph on all other sections in India.

The special track was laid here for India's first semi-high speed train Gatimaan Express, which was launched in April 2016.

Ready To Protect Ships From Houthi Missiles: Navy Chief Exclusive

Indian Navy warships deployed off the coast of Yemen have been tracking the launch of anti-ship ballistic missiles and cruise missiles and stand ready to intercept them if required.

''We have been keeping track of these drones and missiles which are being launched. Our ships have very powerful and capable sensors helping us remain prepared in a combat zone. The deployed ships are very capable and potent, ready to respond if threatened," Admiral R Hari Kumar, the Navy Chief, has told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

The Navy, which is in the middle of its largest-ever deployment in the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, has at least 12 warships deployed in the area, including its latest Visakhapatnam class destroyers, which can detect and engage incoming threats using Israeli-designed Barak 8 medium range surface to air missiles (MRSAM).  

Captains of warships deployed in the area have been given robust rules of engagement and will launch both in self-defence and, if required, to protect merchant shipping in the area that may have been targeted.  Houthi rebels have launched dozens on attacks on US flagged vessels or ships with any association with Israel.  ''The orders are very clear. In case of being targeted, they will act in self-defense and protect both the cargo and the ships. However, so far, we've not had any such incidents.  We have seen that the Houthis are largely carrying out these missile attacks.''

Significantly, the Navy is now veering around to the impression that MV Chem Pluto, a Monrovia-registered tanker bound for New Mangalore Port, was attacked by a combination of two drones in December last year.  

The 12,200-tonne chemical tanker was sailing 320 km southwest of Veraval when it was struck by a drone which penetrated its hull, causing internal damage, a fire and power failure. The Navy believes that the drones were launched from Houthi-held area or by sympathisers of Houthi forces in Yemen.

''Our assessment is they came in pairs, one carrying a payload and the other carrying either an AI sensor or an IR sensor. We have yet to determine the type of sensor as when a drone gets damaged, all the parts cannot be recovered. It is definitely a kamikaze type of drone, escorted by one more, which gives the information. This is our understanding of it," he said.

Significantly, the Indian Navy, alive to the threat of both aerial and semi-submersible marine drones, has already started the process of equipping its ships with automated, quick-reaction gun systems with a high-rate of fire.  These guns are designed to intercept incoming maritime drones at close ranges.  

Earlier this week, video emerged of Ukrainian sea drones striking the large Russian amphibious ship Caesar Kukikov which subsequently sank.  Another warship, the Ivanovets, was struck and sunk by sea drones about two weeks ago.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Defence announced the signing of a Rs.1,752 crore contract with Advanced Weapon Equipment India Ltd. (AWEIL), Kanpur, for the manufacture and supply of 463 made-in-India Stabilised Remote Control guns ''to accurately engage small targets that post a threat to ships in an asymmetric environment, both by day and night.''

''These are all weapons which are either nearly autonomous or automatic, which can detect and engage a target. They have a very high rate of fire, and they can be used at very close quarters. These weapons are now made in India. The technology was earlier brought to the country and they are now being manufactured in India. Their installation is already in progress on many ships,'' Admiral Kumar said.

The Indian Navy is also closely monitoring the movement of Chinese research vessels in the Indian Ocean, including the Xian Yang Hong 03, which was expected to dock in Male on February 8 at a time when Beijing is trying to step-up its presence in the Maldives -- a matter of diplomatic concern for New Delhi given China's growing influence in the region. While nothing stops Beijing from launching probes in international waters, the Navy is concerned that charting underwater regions ''may have military applications as well in terms of the ability to deploy submarines or operate submarines.''

In order to counter China's growing presence in the waters of the Indian Ocean, including its sale of advanced warships and submarines to Pakistan, the Indian Navy is looking closely at the induction of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines.  

''We want to grow into a well-balanced force with aircraft carriers. On submarines, there is a 30-year submarine building plan which was approved in 1989. Since then, there have been some delays. But Project 75 is a part of this plan and will fit into this. Subsequently, out of the 24 submarines, we will have six nuclear attack submarines. We would like to make it ourselves. We have been learning it for some time, and are now quite confident of manufacturing it. This proposal has now been taken up and is currently under process. We are quite hopeful it will come through. These have long gestation periods. But we are quite confident of our capabilities, technology, understanding and the ability to not only build it but operate it as well,'' the Admiral said.

The Indian Navy presently operates two aircraft carriers, the home-grown INS Vikrant and the INS Vikramaditya, an older-Russia designed and built carrier which will eventually have to be replaced by a more modern platform.

The Navy chief says that he remains committed to this acquisition, particularly since China continues to build carriers at an alarming rate.  ''While there is a school of thought that says aircraft carriers are history, if you see how many aircraft carriers are being built in various countries, China has got plans to build ten.''

In the meanwhile, the Navy remains focussed on new-generation Rafale-M fighters, to be deployed on the new carrier Vikrant to eventually replace its older Russian-built MiG-29K fighters which have had limited success.  

The acquisition of Rafale-Ms, Admiral Kumar says, is under process. ''We are hopeful that by the middle or end of the year, once the contract is signed, 36 months from then is when the first aircraft is expected to be delivered,'' he said.

Eventually, though, the Navy is committed to a twin-engine variant of the Indian Tejas fighter which should be available for induction in the 2040s. ''We are aggressively taking forward the case for the Twin Engine Deck Based fighter (TEDBF), and that will become the mainstay of both the carriers over time,'' the Admiral said.

Actor Gautami Tadimalla Joins AIADMK Months After Quitting BJP

Popular film actress Gautami Tadimalla on Wednesday called on All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami and formally got inducted into the main opposition party in Tamil Nadu.

The 55-year-old actress, who acted in over 120 films and was paired with top stars such as Rajinikanth and actor-politician Kamal Hassan, quit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in October 2023 after serving it for more than 25 years.

On Wednesday, Gautami, who was born in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, called on former chief minister Palaniswami at his residence in Chennai and formally joined the AIADMK, a press release said.

The AIADMK chief handed over a copy of the book 'Maaperum Tamilkanavu (The Great Tamil Dream)' with an image of former Chief Minister C N Annadurai to Gautami on the occasion.

"I was impressed by Annan (elder brother in Tamil) for his ability to unite everyone to fight for the welfare of the people. Today I am very happy to join the party. By joining the AIADMK, I hope I will be able to serve the people.

"You all know that I was in the BJP for 25 years and had quit that party due to some reasons. I am very happy to join the AIADMK today." Gautami later told reporters.

Maharashtra Congress Chief's "Adarsh Scam" Jibe At Ashok Chavan Post Exit

Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole on Tuesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is scared and departure of former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan will not have any impact on Congress.

"Congress and Maha Vikas Aghadi belong to the common people. The exit of a leader makes no difference. BJP in Maharashtra is scared in their survey also. That is why, they are making small attempts but as a result, people's sympathy for Congress has increased. I think Congress' seats will increase. The departure of Ashok Chavan will not have any impact on Congress," he said.

Former Congress leader Ashok Chavan on Tuesday announced his decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party asserting to work for the "constructive development of Maharashtra".

Nana Patole further said that Central government mentioned the 'Adarsh Scam' during a discussion on white paper in the Parliament and everybody knows who is associated with that scam.

"Our in-charge has told you how much respect he (Ashok Chavan) had in our party. But two days back, the Government came out with a White Paper on the UPA Government. Adarsh Scam was specifically mentioned by the PM. Everyone knows who is involved in Adarsh Scam," he said.

"I had told him that his condition would be bad there (in BJP). He always had leadership roles here but there he won't get any such opportunity. What is the condition of many Maharashtra leaders who went there today? That's why I offered him to come back today," Mr Patole added.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chennithala on Tuesday slammed Ashok Chavan for quitting the party and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party and said that he should clarify his stand.

He further went on to say that those "who wish to leave the party for selfish gains and are feeling pressure from the ED and CBI are free to go".

"No one apart from Ashok Chavan will leave the party in Maharashtra. Congress is united and will work under the leadership of Kharge Ji. Ashok Chavan should clarify his stand. As a political leader, he needs to explain why he made this decision when the party gave him everything. People are watching him. What is the pressure on him? Is it being the pressure of ED? He must answer. Congress will become stronger now; we will not be affected," he said.

Calling it a "new beginning" in his political career, Ashok Chavan said, "Today it's a new beginning of my political career. I am formally joining the BJP in their office today. I am hopeful that we will work for the constructive development of Maharashtra."

"Muslims Back Our Brand Of Hindutva, Reject BJP's": Uddhav Thackeray

Chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday asserted that the Muslim community backed their brand of Hindutva which 'lights the stoves in their homes" and rejects that of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which "burns their homes."

Addressing a gathering of Shiv Sena workers in Mumbai, Mr Thackeray said, "The Muslim community is coming with us. I ask them don't you know that I am the party chief of Shiv Sena and the son of a 'Hindu Hriday Samrat'. I am a staunch Hindu myself so why are you coming with me? They say that we have come to know that there is a difference between your Hindutva and the Hindutva of BJP. Your Hindutva lights the stove in our house and the Hindutva of the BJP burns the house," the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief said.

He further said that Ram is in our hearts and this is our Hindutva, and we are patriotic Hindus.

Earlier, Mr Thackeray said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government awarded the Bharat Ratna to former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur to lure voters from the eastern state in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

"Earlier there were rules on how many Bharat Ratna could be awarded and to whom and when they could be awarded. PM Narendra Modi is awarding it to whoever comes to his mind," Uddhav Thackeray said.

He further said that he is happy that Karpoori Thakur is being acknowledged after so many years.

"I am not saying that whoever has been conferred with the Bharat Ratna is wrong. They need votes in Bihar that's why Bharat Ratna has been awarded to Karpoori Thakur," he added.
