Stary dog menace: Student moves Kerala HC
The bench of Justice C S Dias sought instructions from the state on her petition and adjourned the matter to June 17. Keerthana stated that she was attacked by a group of stray dogs and bitten by one on May 30, while returning home from Nedumangad town. She further pointed out that residents of Nedumangad are facing a growing stray dog menace. Within a week after the attack on her, three to four similar incidents were reported in the area.
The petitioner alleged that, despite several complaints to local authorities, no effective action has been taken. She has also sought a directive to constitute committees under Rule 24 of the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001, across the state, to control the stray dog population by capturing, sterilising and rehabilitating them in shelters within a fixed time frame.

Aviation Minister slams Western media for speculative reporting on Air India Boeing crash probe
New Delhi: Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu on Sunday said the government will wait for the final report on the investigation into the Air India Boeing crash before making any comments, even as he slammed the Western media for its slanted coverage of the tragic incident. He urged the Western media to avoid speculation on the cause of the Air India crash and praised the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) for successfully decoding the black box data in India. 'AAIB has made an appeal to all, especially Western media houses, which may have a vested interest in the kind of articles they are trying to publish,' the minister said. 'I believe in AAIB. They have done a wonderful job in decoding the whole black box and getting the data out in India itself,' the minister said. 'It was a huge success for us because in previous incidents, whenever the black box was seen to be damaged, it was always sent abroad to get the data out. But this is the first time that AAIB has successfully decoded everything. The preliminary report has also been prepared,' Naidu pointed out. The minister stated that making any comments until the final report comes is not a good exercise for anyone. The government is being very cautious and studying the report thoroughly, and whatever necessary steps are required in terms of safety would be implemented, he added. 'Regarding the incident and investigation, we have to wait for the final report before we say anything,' the minister said. Meanwhile, the United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chairperson Jennifer Homendy also stated that recent media reports on the crash of an Air India Boeing Dreamliner that killed over 260 people were premature and speculative. A report in the Wall Street Journal, which was followed up by another by Reuters news agency, was seen to be biased against the pilots in trying to pin the blame on them for the crash, even though no such conclusion has been reached in the investigation at this point. Homendy said investigations of this magnitude take time, and that the NTSB will continue to support AAIB's ongoing probe. This came following AAIB's public appeal issued on Thursday (July 17), noting a strong appeal to the public and media, raising concerns about 'selective and unverified reporting' by certain international outlets in the aftermath of the crash. 'It is essential to respect the sensitivity of the loss faced by family members of deceased passengers, crew of the aircraft and other deceased persons on the ground. It has come to our attention that certain sections of the international media are repeatedly attempting to draw conclusions through selective and unverified reporting. Such actions are irresponsible, especially while the investigation remains ongoing. We urge both the public and the media to refrain from spreading premature narratives that risk undermining the integrity of the investigative process,' AAIB said in a letter. The Bureau clarified that at this stage, 'it is too early to reach any definite conclusions,' and the final report will be published only after the investigation is complete, including the identification of 'root causes and recommendations'.

Air India plane crash: New revelations emerge suggesting fuel cut off was..., tail section was not...
New Delhi: After the initial report of the Ahmedabad plane crash came out, the western media started blaming the pilots. It was being claimed in the western media that one pilot had deliberately cut off the fuel supply to the engine. However, now a new angle has come out in this investigation, which has completely rejected the claims of the western media. Some shocking evidence has been found from the wreckage of Air India's plane AI171, which crashed within seconds of taking off in Ahmedabad on June 12. The rear part (tail) of the plane was not burnt in the fire, which shows signs of electric fire. What does the new report say? According to investigating officials, there was a disturbance in the power supply of the plane before the crash. Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the only surviving passenger in the accident, has also told that before the plane crash, the lights of the plane were going off repeatedly, which indicates a fault in the power supply. What happened in the rear end of plane? The tail of the plane was saved from the fire in the plane crash and the body of a cabin crew member has also been recovered here, who was tied with a seat belt and died due to the collision. This body, found 72 hours after the accident, had decayed due to firefighting chemicals. However, it became clear that the objects present in the rear part of the plane were also safe. What kind of fault was it? Before flying from Ahmedabad to London, this flight went from Delhi to Ahmedabad. During this time, there was a technical fault in the STAB POS XDCR of the plane, which was fixed in Ahmedabad. This component was present in the rear part of the plane. Apart from this, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) present in the tail of the plane is also safe, which is used to start the engine and provide power backup. There are also signs of electric fire in this part of the plane. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has kept all the parts safely in Ahmedabad, which are being closely examined. What is fuel cut off theory? According to aviation experts, the fuel cut off must have happened due to disruption in power supply. Possibly, in an attempt to restart the plane, the pilots may have thought of turning the fuel on-off, but after cutting off, they did not get a chance to run, and the plane crashed before that. It takes only 1 second for fuel cut off and running. In such a situation, even if a pilot had cut off the fuel by mistake, the other pilot had enough time to restart the fuel. It is clear from this that fuel cut off is not the whole truth of the plane crash.
