Indian climber dies after scaling Everest
Subrata Ghosh, 45, reached the top of the 8,849-metre (29,000 feet) peak Thursday but died about 50 metres below the summit while descending.
"It seems he was exhausted and was showing signs of altitude sickness. We are waiting for his guide to return for more details," said Bodha Raj Bhandari, of Snowy Horizon Treks and Expedition.
Ghosh was from West Bengal state, which adjoins Bangladesh.
Areas above 8,000 metres are known as the "death zone" because thin air and low oxygen levels heighten the risk of altitude sickness.
A Filipino climber of the same team died Wednesday on his way to the summit.
More than 50 climbers have reached the summit since the route opened last week, taking advantage of a brief spell of good weather.
Nepal is home to eight of the world's 10 highest peaks and welcomes hundreds of climbers each spring, when temperatures are warmer and winds typically calmer.
Last year more than 800 climbers made it to the peak of Everest, including 74 from the northern Tibet side. Eight people died, including climbers from Nepal, Mongolia, Kenya, the UK and India.

Brigade Hotel Ventures' India IPO fully subscribed on second day of bids
KUALA LUMPUR: Brigade Hotel Ventures' 7.6-billion-rupee (US$88 million) initial public offering was fully subscribed on the second day of bidding on Friday, as investor optimism about India's burgeoning hospitality sector strengthens. Total bids matched the shares on offer, a fresh issue, exchange data showed as of 1:28pm local time. Shares of the hotel operator, which is aiming for a valuation of around US$397 million, are slated to list on July 31, Thursday. India's hotel operators are cashing in on the surge in travel, as both business and leisure trips rebound across the country. Fueling the momentum is a wave of wealthy Indians spending big on luxury, not just on stays, but on cars, apartments, designer watches and even upscale bathrooms. Hospitality firms such as ITC Hotels and Leela-owner Schloss Bangalore have made a beeline for public markets over the past two years, betting on sustained demand for premium experiences. Brigade Hotel Ventures first filed for an IPO in October with an offer size of 9 billion rupees, with the trimmed IPO size coming after a partial debt repayment and pre-IPO fundraises. The firm runs nine hotels across five Indian cities, partnering with Marriott, Accor and IHG in the mid-to-upscale segments.

India to resume issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens
HONG KONG: India will resume issuing tourist visas to Chinese citizens from July 24 this year, its embassy in China said on July 23, the first time in five years as both countries move to repair their rocky relationship. Tensions between the two countries escalated following a 2020 military clash along their disputed Himalayan border. In response, India imposed restrictions on Chinese investments, banned hundreds of popular Chinese apps and cut passenger routes. China suspended visas to Indian citizens and other foreigners around the same time due to the Covid-19 pandemic but lifted those restrictions in 2022, when it resumed issuing visas for students and business travellers. Tourist visas for Indian nationals remained restricted until March this year, when both countries agreed to resume direct air service. Relations have gradually improved, with several high-level meetings taking place last year, including talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Russia in October. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that Beijing had noted the positive move. "China is ready to maintain communication and consultation with India and constantly improve the level of personal exchanges between the two countries," he said. India and China share a 3,800km (2,400-mile) border that has been disputed since the 1950s. The two countries fought a brief but brutal border war in 1962 and negotiations to settle the dispute have made slow progress. In July, India's foreign minister told his Chinese counterpart that both countries must resolve border friction, pull back troops and avoid "restrictive trade measures" to normalise their relationship. - Reuters

Stranded fighter jet departs after repairs and social media fame
Off air: The stealth fighter was grounded at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala due to technical snags. — AP A British F-35B fighter jet stranded at an Indian airport for more than a month, sparking memes and cartoons on social media, took off after being repaired by a team of UK engineers, an Indian official said. The stealth fighter, one of the world's most advanced and costing around US$115mil, was grounded at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in the southern state of Kerala due to technical snags. The aircraft had hydraulic issues and problems with its auxiliary power unit that have been fixed, said the Thiruvananthapuram official, who wasn't authorised to speak with the media and requested anonymity. The jet was on a regular sortie in the Arabian Sea in June when it ran into bad weather and couldn't return to the Royal Navy's flagship aircraft carrier, the HMS Prince of Wales. The aircraft diverted to Thiruvananthapuram and landed safely on June 14. The stranded military aircraft, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, triggered AI-generated memes in India. A Kerala tourism department social media post showed the plane on the tarmac surrounded by coconut trees with a fictitious five-star review: 'Kerala is such an amazing place, I don't want to leave. Definitely recommend.' The top official at the tourism department, K. Biju, said the post was in 'good humour'. 'It was our way to appreciate and thank the Brits who are the biggest inbound visitors to Kerala for tourism,' Biju said. Another cartoon posted on X showed the plane enjoying snacks with a group of locals against a scenic background. There was speculation in India that the aircraft could be partially dismantled and transported in a cargo plane if repairs were unsuccessful. The UK Ministry of Defence dismissed the speculation in a statement. — AP
