PM Modi, Sheikh Hasina to jointly inaugurate cross-border rail project on November 1

IndiaTimes Monday, 30 October 2023
The 15-km rail link (5km in India and 10km in Bangladesh) will boost cross-border trade and significantly reduce the travel time between Agartala and Kolkata via Dhaka, the officials said. The trial run of the project will take place at 12pm on Monday. It encompasses one major bridge and three minor bridges. "At present, it takes about 31 hours to reach Kolkata from Agartala by train, which will be reduced to just 10 hours," an official said.

Trump Kill Bid: How a Series of Security Lapses, Failures Led to Near Fatal Shooting | Details

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates. #DonaldTrump #TrumpWeapon #AR15 #USGunLaws #USSecurityService #SecurityServiceChief #KimberlyCheatle #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #TrumpShot #DonaldTrumpShot #DonaldTrumpAssassination #AssassinationDonaldTrump #DonaldTrumpShotCampaign #DonaldTrumpEar #DonaldTrumpBullet #USNews #BreakingNews #InternationalNews #DonaldTrumpAssassination #biden #Trump #PoliticalViolence #NationalUnity #USPresident #breakingNews #Rehobothbeach #DonaldTrump #SecretService #StateAgencies ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~

India Vs Australia T20 World Cup: Men In Blue Ready To Take On Arch Rival Australia | Pitch Battle

The highly anticipated Super 8 match between India and Australia in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 will take place on June 24 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia at 8 p.m. IST. This match is crucial for India, as a win will keep their unbeaten streak and potentially knock Australia out of the tournament, offering a chance for revenge after Australia's victory in the 2023 ODI World Cup final. On November 19, 2023, Australia defeated India at Narendra Modi Stadium, leaving Indian fans and legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in tears. If India wins this match, Australia will be left with two points from three games and will have to rely on Bangladesh defeating Afghanistan to advance to the semifinals. However, Afghanistan is expected to challenge Bangladesh, whose World Cup performance has been poor so far.
