MANUU cancels academic MoU with Turkish university over Turkiye's alleged support for Pakistan
In a press statement on Thursday, the Hyderabad-based university stated that the decision was taken in protest against Turkiye's alleged support for Pakistan's terrorist activities in the backdrop of Indo-Pak tensions.
It is worth mentioning that on January 2, 2024, MANUU signed an MoU with Yunus Emre Institute, Turkiye, for a period of five years, under which a diploma in Turkish language was started at the School of Languages, Linguistics & Indology, MANUU. Services of a visiting professor were hired for this. The statement said that the visiting Professor from Turkiye has already returned to his country.

Act now: Gaza faces imminent mass starvation
Starvation-faced Gaza needs the world to intervene. In one of the past century's biggest ironies, stark scenes of emaciation from this patch of land under Israeli siege resemble black-and-white footage of the inmates found in European concentration camps that US soldiers stumbled upon at the end of World War II. Also Read: Why Israel's chaotic new food program in Gaza has turned so deadly That any regime could treat humans so badly was met with disbelief at first, but led to 'never again" as a global pledge. In Gaza, while Tel Aviv has conceded air-drops of food in response to international protests against its aid-blockade policy, grim news abounds. Also Read: A flawed attempt at delivering Gaza aid led to a wave of deaths Israeli military attacks after Gaza-based Hamas's 2023 terror strikes have left about 60,000 Gazans dead—most of them children and women—estimates suggest. Adding to that toll now are hunger deaths. Also Read: Washington struggles to rein in an emboldened Israel The food squeeze has already taken the lives of 127 people, 85 of them children, going by the count of Gaza's health ministry. With reports of underfed doctors fainting at work, the fear of imminent mass starvation is all too real to overlook. Both Israel and its big backer, the US, have shown their might in the region. It's now time for Uncle Sam to either mount or lead a rescue mission. Or risk being on the wrong side of history.

Rajnath Singh hails logistics edge in Operation Sindoor, says timely delivery key to modern warfare
Advt Seamless logistics management by Indian agencies-from mobilisation of the armed forces to delivering equipment at the right time and place-was a deciding factor in the success of Operation Sindoor , defence minister Rajnath Singh said on a virtual address at the convocation ceremony of Vadodara-based Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV), the minister said in the current era, wars are not just won by guns and bullets but by time-bound delivery of material, highlighting Op Sindoor as an example of excellent logistics management."Whether it's soldiers fighting on the border or personnel engaged in disaster management, without coordination or proper management of resources, even the strongest of intentions weaken. Logistics is the power that transforms chaos into control. Power is measured not only by weapons, but also by timely resource management. Be it war, disaster or global pandemic, the nation which keeps its logistics chain strong is the most stable, secure and capable," he said.
