Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani gets a new guest, it will live in...
New guest has arrived at Anant Ambani's house: In a significant development for the Ambani family and more specifically Anant Ambani, the Bombay High Court approved the relocation of Mahadevi, an ailing elephant currently in Kolhapur, to the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, a specialised elephant care centre in Jamnagar. Notably, the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, supported by Anant Ambani's Vantara initiative, is known for its dedicated care, veterinary expertise, and expansive natural enclosures.
The specialised elephant care centre of Anant Ambani has been notably designed to offer long-term rehabilitation. As per a report by news agency ANI, the move comes in response to concerns raised over her health and overall well-being. Who's the new guest at Anant Ambani's Vantara?
Reports presented to the court indicated that Mahadevi was suffering from severe injuries and needed a better environment to heal and thrive. After reviewing her condition and the available facilities, the High Court concluded that her best chance at healing lies in a sanctuary purpose-built for elephant care. How Mahadevi was transferred to Anant Ambani's Vantara?
Invoking the parens patriae principle to safeguard the rights of the 'voiceless and hapless Mahadevi', in its ruling, the court said, 'We have considered and chosen the survival of the elephant and its right to quality life, over and above the rights of men to use the elephant.'
The panel also quoted the words of Lawrence Anthony from his book 'The Elephant Whisperer' to support the argument for better treatment of the elephants. This decision marks a compassionate step toward recognising the emotional and physical needs of animals who cannot voice their suffering. With this transfer, Mahadevi is expected to receive focused treatment and the peaceful surroundings essential for her recovery.
The Jamnagar-based sanctuary offers a robust ecosystem of veterinary staff, natural foraging space, and continuous care, ensuring elephants like Mahadevi are given a second chance at a dignified, comfortable life.

Russian passenger plane crashes near Tynda; all onboard feared dead
A Russian passenger plane that went missing in the Far East region has crashed, with all people onboard believed to have died, authorities confirmed on Thursday evening. The plane was carrying at least 40 people. The Antonov An-24 aircraft, operated by the Siberia-based airline Angara, lost contact with air traffic control while approaching Tynda, a remote town in the Amur region near the Chinese border. According to the Russian Emergencies Ministry, the plane disappeared from radar screens during its final approach. The Emergencies Ministry initially reported that approximately 40 people were onboard. However, Amur regional governor Vasily Orlov confirmed on Telegram that the flight was carrying 43 passengers, including five children, along with six crew members. 'All necessary forces and means have been deployed to search for the plane,' Orlov stated. Other reports state that it may be carrying as many as 49 passengers. No distress signal was reported before the aircraft vanished. This is a developing story.

Russian plane crashes in Amur, kills all 49 on board
Moscow: A Russian An-24 aircraft carrying 49 people, including five children and six crew members, crashed in the mountainous Amur region on Thursday, killing all on board, according to local media reports. The ill-fated flight, operated by the Siberia-based Angara Airlines, had departed from Blagoveshchensk and was en route to Tynda, near the Russia-China border, when it lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly before its scheduled landing. According to Russia's state news agency TASS, the aircraft reportedly caught fire mid-air and vanished from radar. Rescue helicopters later located the burning wreckage on a remote mountainside, approximately 16 kilometres from Tynda. Officials from the Amur Centre for Civil Defence and Fire Safety confirmed that "no survivors were found when a Mi-8 search helicopter flew over the crash site." "The aircraft caught fire upon crashing," said a spokesperson. "Rescue operations have been hampered by the extremely difficult terrain, as the crash site lies on a steep, inaccessible slope." The harsh geographical conditions of the region -- dense taiga forests and swampy terrain -- further complicated rescue efforts. The aircraft did not send any distress signals before disappearing, heightening questions over what went wrong. Preliminary reports suggest the An-24 may have been attempting a second approach to land at Tynda Airport when it went off the radar. A Rosaviatsia aircraft and multiple rescue teams were immediately dispatched to the area when the information was received earlier in the day. "All necessary forces and means have been deployed to search for the plane," said Amur region governor Vasily Orlov. Investigators from the Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor's Office have launched a probe into the incident. The cause of the crash remains unclear, and officials are expected to begin recovery operations and black box retrieval once ground access becomes possible.
