Police divers found Gurashman Singh Bhatia’s body in a lake in Canary Wharf area of ​​east London. The UK’s Metropolitan Police are appealing for information to piece together the last movements of Gurashman.

    The officers are carrying out “extensive enquiries”, including viewing CCTV, speaking to witnesses and analyzing phone and financial data. Water searches were also carried out in the area and a body believed to be that of Bhatia was recovered by police divers in the water in South Quay.

    “Gurashman’s death is being treated as unexpected, and while there is nothing to suggest it was suspicious, we will ensure our investigation is as thorough as possible to confirm this,” said Detective Chief Superintendent (DCI) James Conway, responsible for local policing in the Tower Hamlets area of ​​Canary Wharf.

    CCTV image of Gurashman released

    “Because of this, we are releasing a CCTV image of Gurashman that was taken before his disappearance and would like anyone who may have seen him in the Marsh Wall area on the evening of Thursday, 14 December and in the early hours of Friday, 15 December, to contact us,” he said.

    Conway added that this was an “extremely tragic outcome” to their missing persons inquiry and not the news he was hoping to give to Gurashman’s family and friends.

    “I send them my deepest condolences,” he said.

    The police noted that although formal identification has not yet taken place, Gurashman’s family has been informed. Meanwhile, anyone with information about Gurashman’s movements has been asked to call 101 quoting the reference CAD5787/15Dec.

    social media appeals

    There had been widespread social media appeals by the Indian student community in the UK after the Sikh student was reported missing.

    “What a tragic, heartbreaking loss of one of our beautiful lives. I had spoken to his father and friends only a few days ago when we first found out he was missing and had been praying for his safe discovery,” said Sanam Arora, Chair of the National Indian Students and Alumni Union (NISAU) UK.

    “Our thoughts are with his family & friends. Requesting all to please say a prayer for the departed soul,” she said.

    Bhatia was pursuing an MSc in Digital Finance at Loughborough University. After he went missing last week, his case was also flagged with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar by BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa.

  • Telecommunication Bill passed in Parliament, government will be able to take over any mobile network for public safety…

    Delhi. The Telecommunication Bill was passed in the Parliament, allowing telecom services in the country to be put under the temporary control of the Central Government in the interest of national security. There is also a provision in this bill to provide spectrum for satellite internet services without auction. This bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha by voice vote. It got the green signal in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

    In this, the central government is allowed to take control of any telecom network in case of public emergency or in the interest of public safety. Along with this, it will also be allowed to transmit or intercept messages in case of public emergency, in public interest or to prevent incitement to commit crime. This bill states that press messages of correspondents accredited by the Central or State Government should not be intercepted unless their transmission is prohibited under the rules applicable to public emergency and public order.

    According to the provisions of the Telecommunication Bill, 2023, on the occurrence of any emergency in the interest of disaster management or public safety, any authorized officer of the Central or State Government can take temporary possession of any telecommunication service or telecommunication network. Under the Telecommunication Bill, the government has proposed to bring over-the-top (OTT) or internet-based calling and messaging apps under the definition of telecommunication to increase the safety of users in the draft of the Telecommunication Bill.

    The industry welcomed the bill. The telecom industry has welcomed this bill. Digital Infrastructure Providers Association Director General T.R. Dua says that this bill will greatly benefit the telecom infrastructure industry. This will bring uniformity in terms of rules and what the industry has to do. This will remove the problems caused by changing rules in different states.

    At the same time, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), an organization of telecom companies, says that this bill will provide a lot of relief to the telecom network companies. This will give them relief from property tax, sealing without authority, cess, fees, duties and other taxes. It will also help in making common duct and cable corridor for laying network lines.

    The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), which represents more than 600 internet and startup companies in the country, says that the industry will benefit from keeping internet companies out of the purview of the telecom sector. This will clarify the difference between companies controlling spectrum and companies using spectrum. This will help in promoting internet and innovation in the country.

  • China Earthquake: Death Toll Rises To 137, Dozen Still Missing | world news

    Dahejia: A dozen people were still missing on Thursday after a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck northwestern Gansu province late Monday, and netizens questioned the speed at which rescue operations had ended.

    Chinese media reported that search-and-rescue work in Gansu ended at 3 pm (0700 GMT) on Tuesday, about 15 hours after the disaster hit a remote and mountainous area near the border straddling Gansu and Qinghai provinces. It was not immediately clear whether the search in Qinghai was continuing.

    In Gansu, 115 people had been found dead as of 9 am on Wednesday (0100 GMT) and 784 were injured, authorities said. Gansu has not reported any missing persons.

    Neighboring Qinghai saw its death toll rise to 22 with 198 injured and 12 missing as of 8:56 pm on Wednesday.

    More than 207,000 homes were wrecked and nearly 15,000 collapsed in Gansu, affecting more than 145,000 people.

    Discussions online showed netizens curious about how quickly rescue efforts wrapped up in Gansu, with many suggesting that the sub-freezing temperatures were the main factor in shortening the “golden period” for finding survivors – typically 72 hours post-disaster.

    People trapped under rubble exposed to prolonged temperatures of -10° Celsius (14°F) run the risk of rapid hypothermia and may only be able to live for five to 10 hours even if uninjured, local media reported, citing researchers.

    “They would have been dead by the time they were found, even 24 hours is already too long. Outdoor temperatures are below minus 10 C,” a user on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo commented.

    Some users on Weibo considered other factors such as that the search area was not especially wide, and that people have been all accounted for, leading to rescue efforts ending in less than a day.

    SURVIVING THE COLD

    Rescuers on Wednesday pulled to safety victims of the earthquake, which jolted Jishishan county in Gansu a minute before midnight on Monday, sending many residents in the area out of homes into the cold in the dead of the night.

    Survivors face uncertainty in the wintry months ahead without permanent shelter amid freezing temperatures.

    Many of the affected families are Hui people, an ethnic minority mostly found in western Chinese provinces and regions such as Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi.

    In Gansu’s Sibuzi village, villagers worried about the freezing winter.

    “Many people escaped from their homes, some without socks, just ran out barefoot. It’s extremely cold standing on the ground,” said Zhou Habai, an ethnic Hui woman.

    The 24-year-old, now staying in a shift tent after her home was destroyed, said some villagers have been gathering and burning firewood to keep warm.

    About 60% of the survivors have not received tents, 63-year-old Ye Zhiying, from the same village, told Reuters.

    He said officials from the Communist Party had told them that the village would distribute tents by noon on Thursday, and would be set up in less than a week.

    “Whether everyone can be accommodated or not, we don’t know,” said the Hui villager, who was given a tent on Wednesday.

    Roads, power and water lines and agricultural production facilities have suffered damage, and the quake triggered land and mudslides that swept through villages in Qinghai’s Haidong where the missing were reported from.

    Sunil Kumar Pintu has said in an exclusive conversation with a TV channel that the opposition leaders had high expectations from the fourth meeting of the Indi alliance. People were hopeful that something concrete would come out of this meeting and a concrete decision would be taken, but the meeting was completely delayed.

    The JDU MP further said that in earlier meetings, tea and samosas were served, but now Congress itself has said that we are short of funds. You donate money to us. Yesterday’s meeting was limited only to tea and biscuits and even samosas were not available.

  • JN.1 variant which increases infection in China hits India, 4 died in this state, Central Government issues advisory to states

    Corona virus has once again increased concerns. Cases of new variant of Corona virus JN.1 have been reported in the country. Kerala has the highest number of cases of this variant and 4 people have also died. After this, the Central Government has issued an advisory to the states and advised them to be cautious. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cases of infection are increasing once again across the world due to the sub-variant JN.1 found in China recently. JN.1 spreading in India originates from the BA.2.86 sub-variant of the Omicron variant. There are 41 mutations in its spike protein. It is more dangerous than the previously found XBB.1.5 and HV.1 variants.

    Its first case was reported on August 25 this year in Luxembourg, Europe. After this it also spread to England, Iceland, France and America. Now its cases have come to light in India. The central government has issued an advisory to the states saying that for early detection of cases, the states have been asked to regularly monitor patients suffering from influenza and respiratory diseases.

    Is JN.1 more contagious?

    JN.1 is considered infectious due to several mutations in the spike protein. Experts say that it is either more infectious or more capable of penetrating our immune system. The JN.1 variant is being held responsible for the increase in Corona cases in Singapore. According to the data, two weeks ago, an average of 1,532 new cases were being reported a day in Singapore, which has now increased to 8,006.

    How dangerous is JN.1?

    According to WHO, there is no evidence that JN.1 poses a greater risk to public health than other variants. Neither serious symptoms nor increase in deaths have been observed in patients infected with this variant. However, its infectiousness is high. According to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID), JN.1 accounts for 15 to 29 percent of total new cases in the US.

    What is the status of variant cases in India?

    On December 8, a 78-year-old woman from Kerala was confirmed to be infected with the JN.1 variant. This was the first case of this variant in India. As of December 18, there were 1,828 infected patients of this variant in India and 4 people have also died in Kerala itself. As a precautionary measure, the Karnataka government has made it mandatory for people above 60 years of age to wear masks in public places.
