IndiaTimes Saturday, 25 November 2023
Nearly 1,000 loco pilots failed breathalyser tests in three zones in the last five years, a third of them at the moment of signing off from a shift, says an RTI query reply. It’s New Delhi that recorded the highest number of these infractions. A shocking 471 loco pilots here — 181 (38%) of them drivers of passenger trains — failed breathalyser tests during this period; 189 of them immediately after a stint in the driver’s cabin. Even in Gujarat, where alcohol is banned, 104 drivers failed the test.

India Dethrones China as Russia's Top Oil Buyer, Grabs 44% of New Delhi's Imports | Details [Video]

India Dethrones China as Russia's Top Oil Buyer, Grabs 44% of New Delhi's Imports | Details

India has overtaken China to become the largest importer of Russian oil, marking a significant shift in global energy dynamics. In July, Russian crude made up 44% of India’s total oil imports, reaching a record 2.07 million barrels per day. This surge in imports is driven by steep discounts offered by Moscow as it pivots away from Western markets due to sanctions related to the Ukraine conflict. As China reduces its Russian oil intake, India has stepped in, reshaping trade routes and solidifying its position as a key player in the global oil market. #India #IndianRussianOilImports #IndiaCrudeOilImports #IndiaRussiaRelations #PMModi #VladimirPutin #OilImports #Russia #EnergyShift #GlobalTrade #IndiaChina #CrudeOil #EnergyMarket #Geopolitics #Sanctions #RussianOil #NewDelhi #OilDemand #GlobalEconomy #EnergyCrisis

Russia Denies Recruiting Indians for Ukraine War, Vows to Repatriate Stranded Soldiers | Details

Russia has officially denied claims that it has been recruiting Indian citizens to fight in the Ukraine war. The Russian Embassy in New Delhi emphasized that it has not engaged in any fraudulent schemes or recruitment drives targeting Indians. Instead, Moscow is working closely with New Delhi to repatriate Indian nationals who voluntarily joined the Russian military. The embassy expressed condolences for the casualties among Indian soldiers and assured that Russia will honor all contractual obligations, including financial compensation. The situation has come under scrutiny as human traffickers lured Indians into military service with false promises, prompting a significant diplomatic response from both countries. #Russia #UkraineWar #IndianSoldiers #Repatriation #DiplomaticRelations #HumanTrafficking #RussianEmbassy #IndianNationals #MilitaryService #Moscow #NewDelhi #Casualties #ContractualObligations #InternationalAffairs #RepatriationEfforts
