“You Remain Close To Our Hearts”: PM Modi’s Letter To Sunita Williams

Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, who started her journey back to Earth today from the International Space Station (ISS) after being stuck there for over nine months, received a letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a March 1 letter posted on X today by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, the Prime Minister claimed that during his meetings with President Donald Trump and his predecessor, Joe Biden, while in the United States, he had asked about the welfare of Ms. Williams, who had flown to the orbital lab on June 5 of last year.

Hours after Ms. Williams and her coworker, Butch Wilmore, disembarked from the ISS for a 17-hour journey home, the letter was made public. Get live updates about Sunita Williams’ homecoming here.

PM Modi recalled that her name had been mentioned during a meeting with former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino in Delhi earlier this month.

“We talked about how pleased we are with your job. I could not help but write to you after this encounter,” PM Modi remarked.

“Your accomplishments have always been a source of immense pride for the 1.4 billion Indians. Recent events have once again demonstrated your remarkable resilience and tenacity,” he wrote.

The Prime Minister remarked, “I am sure that Late Deepakbhai’s blessings are with you as well,” in reference to her father, Deepak Pandya, who lived in his native Gujarat and passed away in 2020.

Additionally, PM Modi stated that he “fondly” recalls meeting him and her when he was in the US in 2016.

“Despite the fact that you live thousands of miles away, you never truly leave our hearts. PM Modi informed the 59-year-old astronaut, “The Indian people are praying for your health and success in your mission.”

We are excited to meet you in India once you get back. “India will be delighted to welcome one of its most distinguished daughters,” he continued.

Michael Williams, her husband, also received his “warm greetings” from him.

In June, Sunita Williams took a flight to the space station.

On June 5 of last year, Sunita Williams and her coworker Butch Wilmore took a scheduled round-trip flight to the orbiting lab to test out Boeing’s Starliner on its maiden crewed flight.

However, the spaceship’s propulsion issues made it unsuitable for returning them. Rather, it came back uncrewed.

In order to accommodate the stranded astronauts, the two were then transferred to the NASA-SpaceX Crew-9 mission, which in September of last year sent a Dragon spacecraft to the ISS with a team of two—American astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov—instead of the customary four.

Lettuce To Vitamins: Sunita Willams And Butch Wilmore’s Experiments In Space

The SpaceX Dragon spaceship is finally returning to Earth with astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, whose eight-day stint on the ISS ended up extending into nine months. They are en route after disembarking from the ISS.

After a 17-hour voyage that started at 10:35 am on Tuesday, they should arrive at their destination at approximately 3:35 am on Wednesday.

Along with more than 150 unique scientific experiments and technology demonstrations, Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Nick Hague spent more than 900 hours studying aboard the orbiting laboratory.

During their nine-month tenure, Crew 9 conducted the following experiments:
In order to aid in the conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen, Nick Hague worked on cultivating Arthrospira micro-algae on the ISS. Like plants on Earth, these microscopic algae carry out photosynthesis, which keeps the oxygen in the spacecraft safe to breathe. When fresh food is unavailable during extended space travel, it can also be used as food. The European Space Agency (ESA) was in charge of this experiment.

Enhancing the Health of Astronauts

For testing, Butch Wilmore set up the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device (E4D), a small exercise machine, on the International Space Station. The modular equipment helps astronauts stay in shape throughout extended space missions by combining resistance training, cycling, and rowing. In addition, it is intended to enhance heart health and stop the loss of bone and muscle during upcoming missions.

Romaine Lettuce in Red

Red romaine lettuce was grown by ISS astronauts in the Advanced Plant Habitat as part of the Plant Habitat-07 experiment. The study examines the effects of varying moisture levels on the microbial populations found in water and plants. Understanding how less-than-ideal conditions impact plant growth is the aim of the study. Scientists will use the data to develop more efficient agricultural systems that will yield wholesome food for future space missions’ astronauts.

Investigation of the Water Recovery Series in a Packed Bed Reactor Experiment

Sunita Williams used tiny, densely packed materials, such as pellets or beads, to set up an experiment aboard the ISS to investigate the flow of gases and liquids in space. In order to better understand fuel cells, thermal management, and water recycling for upcoming space missions, she installed gear for the Packed Bed Reactor Experiment: Water Recovery Series (PBRE-WRS) study.

Space Fire

In order to investigate how fire spreads in space, astronauts also carried out an experiment known as SOFIE-RTDFS. The transparent acrylic plastic sheet was burned at half the Earth’s atmosphere’s normal pressure but with increased oxygen levels. This was done to assist scientists in making future missions safer from fire.

Keeping an Eye on Microbes in Space

Butch Wilmore carried out an experiment to see whether microscopic life forms can live in orbit and whether they can escape from the ISS through vents, as humans always bring microbes with them. During next trips, it will assist scientists in taking action to prevent the spread of microorganisms to locations like the Moon or Mars.

The Role of the Heart in Space

On the ISS, Nick Hague worked out while donning the Bio-Monitor headband and vest to monitor the effects of space on the human body, particularly the heart and blood vessels. Tiny sensors included into these garments monitor blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and body temperature. This investigation is in line with the Vascular Aging experiment run by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

Medical Devices for Damage to Nerves

On the ISS, Butch Wilmore tested a 3D printer that can create medical implants to aid patients recovering from damage to their peripheral nerves, which can result in movement and sensory issues. This top-notch medical equipment may benefit scientists on future long-duration missions and perform better in microgravity. Additionally, it will enhance patient care.

Satellite made of wood

To test if wood may be used in satellites instead of metal, Japan’s space agency JAXA launched a small satellite called LignoSat from the International Space Station. After evaluating a number of wood species in space, scientists concluded that magnolia was the best option. It might eventually result in environmentally friendly satellites.

Space-Based Vitamins

Sunita Williams used unique bacteria like yeast in her studies to assist astronauts acquire vital nutrition during extended space travel. Vitamins and other nutrients may be lost from food that has been stored for a long time. When astronauts need new nutrients, this technology could help them produce them.

Keep Devices in Space

The HUNCH Utility Bracket, a student-designed device to hold and place cameras, iPads, and other items astronauts use on a regular basis, was tested by Nick Hague. Bogen Arms are now used by ISS astronauts for everyday duties. However, constant use is causing these older holders to wear out. The new design is expected to be more effective and long-lasting, making it easier for astronauts to operate in microgravity.

Launched from Florida on September 28, 2024, SpaceX Crew-9 is the ninth operational crew rotation trip to the ISS under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov and NASA astronaut Nick Hague make up the crew. Four crew members were originally scheduled for the trip, but changes were made to account for Ms. Williams’ and Mr. Wilmore’s longer stays.

“Lot Of Stuff”: Trump To Share 80,000 Pages on John F. Kennedy Assassination

In an effort to fulfill his campaign pledge to increase transparency regarding the shocking incident in Texas, President Donald Trump intends to make available on Tuesday over 80,000 pages of material pertaining to the 1963 killing of President John F. Kennedy.

On Monday, Trump told reporters, “It is a lot of things, and you will make your own conclusion,” because of the pages.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered hundreds of new records pertaining to the Kennedy assassination in Dallas after Trump signed an order pertaining to the release shortly after taking office in January.

Lee Harvey Oswald has been identified as the lone shooter responsible for Kennedy’s murder. In the decades that followed, the Justice Department and other federal government agencies reiterated that finding. However, according to studies, a large number of Americans think there was a conspiracy behind his killing.

The core facts of the case—that Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from a window of a school book deposit warehouse as the presidential procession went by on a Dallas highway—are unlikely to be altered by the new knowledge, according to experts.

Larry Sabato, who wrote a book about the assassination and is the director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, remarked, “People anticipating major things are practically guaranteed to be disappointed.”

According to him, some of the pages might just be the publication of previously published content with a few words removed.

Additionally, Trump has pledged to make public records pertaining to the 1968 assassinations of Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr.

Trump has given himself additional time to devise a strategy for those releases.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s secretary of health and human services, is the nephew of John F. Kennedy and the son of Robert Kennedy. He has stated that he thinks the CIA was involved in his uncle’s killing, a claim the agency has called unfounded.

Kennedy Jr. has also stated, in defiance of official explanations, that he thinks his father was murdered by several gunmen.

The documents may reveal, among other things, that the CIA knew more about Oswald than it has previously revealed. Regarding Oswald’s trips to Mexico City six weeks prior to the killing, there are still unanswered questions. Oswald stopped at the Soviet embassy during the trip.

Trump remarked, “People have been waiting for decades for this.” “It will be incredibly fascinating.”

South Korean Air Force Pilots Charged Over Accidental Bombing Of Village

Due to an unintentional bombing of a hamlet during a training exercise last week that left at least 29 people injured and caused significant property damage, South Korean military authorities accused two Air Force pilots on Thursday with criminal negligence.

According to a statement from the ministry’s Criminal Investigation Command, officials from the defense ministry have verified that pilot mistakes made when entering coordinates into the aircraft systems were “direct factors” in the unintentional bombing.

According to the command, the pilots were accused for criminal carelessness causing bodily harm, and the event is still being investigated.

During live-fire drills, eight unguided air-to-surface bombs dropped from two fighter jets landed on a Pocheon village close to the North Korean border.

The South Korean and American troops use a number of locations in Pocheon and the surrounding areas as training grounds.

For years, locals have voiced concerns about possible safety hazards and disruptions caused by military forces being mobilized in the region.

According to a ministry official, the two pilots have been removed from flight responsibilities and their flight mission certification will be reviewed.

The chief of staff of the Air Force has expressed regret for the mishap and promised to reassess mission protocols in order to avoid future occurrences.

Citing the likelihood that the bombs could have fallen north of the border, North Korea, which frequently condemns military exercises by the South Korean and American troops, has claimed the accident demonstrated the risk of the exercises leading to armed confrontation.

‘Held Breath Through Firing’: Passengers Describe Pakistan Train Hijack Scenes

Passengers onboard the Jaffar Express in Pakistan’s Balochistan, have spoken of “doomsday scenes”. “We held our breath throughout the firing, not knowing what would happen next,” Ishaq Noor, who was on board during the hijack, told the BBC.
Passengers onboard the Jaffar Express in Pakistan’s Balochistan, have spoken of “doomsday scenes”. “We held our breath throughout the firing, not knowing what would happen next,” Ishaq Noor, who was on board during the hijack, told the BBC.

400 passengers were travelling from Quetta to Peshawar on Tuesday when the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) attacked the train and took some as hostages.

Per the military, 190 passengers have been freed and 27 militants killed. The rescue operations are ongoing. However, the BLA has warned of “severe consequences” if any attempt is made to rescue the remaining hostages.

According to reports, security officials have said that some militants have taken a few passengers up the mountainous area.

Muhammad Ashraf who was travelling to visit family from Quetta to Lahore said, “There was a lot of fear among the passengers. It was a scene of doomsday,” he said. He and his wife tried to protect their child by shielding amidst gunfire. “If a bullet comes our way, it will hit us and not the children,” he said.

In Balochi, the assailants were chatting with one another when their leader continuously instructed them to “keep an eye” on the security guards in particular to ensure that [the attackers] did not lose them. One of the passengers in the train’s carriage, Mushtaq Muhammad, described the attack as “unforgettable”.

The terrorists began releasing some Balochistani citizens, women, children, and elderly travelers on Tuesday night.

The BBC witnessed the loading of wooden coffins at the Quetta railway station on Wednesday. They were being transported for potential casualties, according to an official.

The train hijacking has “gravely worried” Pakistan’s Human Rights Commission.

In a statement on X, it said, “We strongly urge all relevant stakeholders to forge an urgent rights-based, pro-people consensus on the issues faced by citizens in Balochistan and to find a peaceful, political solution.”

Trump Administration Ends $20 Billion Funding For Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects

Climate activists and Democrats claim that the Trump administration’s decision to cut $20 billion in financing for greenhouse gas reduction initiatives unlawfully appropriates funds intended for renewable energy and transportation for underserved communities.

Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, had made public his campaign to recover funds from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which Congress allocated during the Biden administration to launch pollution-reduction programs.

Although it provided no specifics, the EPA stated in a statement late on Tuesday that it had retracted the funding, claiming the initiative did not fit with the agency’s aims and raising concerns about possible fraud, waste, and abuse.

It further stated that the FBI and the US Justice Department are examining the operation.

Although the EPA did not specify how it would use the monies, it stated that it would endeavor to utilize them “with strengthened controls” in accordance with the law.

“EPA will not be a wasteful spender in the name of ‘climate equity,’ but rather an outstanding steward of public dollars committed to our primary purpose of preserving human health and the environment,” Zeldin stated.

Under Democratic President Joe Biden, the $20 billion was provided by Congress under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. In the face of legal challenges, the EPA has attempted to block funds for environmental justice and climate change under his successor, Republican Donald Trump.

Since it and seven other beneficiaries have been unable to access the monies, the Climate United Fund advocacy group filed a lawsuit against the EPA and Citigroup’s Citibank over the weekend, alleging that they withheld the payments and violated what it described as a legally-binding contractual commitment as an awardee.

PM Modi Gifts This Superfood To Mauritius President

During his visit to Mauritius on Tuesday for the National Day celebrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave President Dharambeer Gokhool and First Lady Brinda Gokhool a number of symbolic gifts that showcased India’s rich spiritual and cultural legacy.

The president of Mauritius was presented with Makhana, a nutrient-dense superfood from Bihar, as a tribute to India’s rich agricultural past. This donation was made at a pivotal moment, as the Indian government recently declared in the 2025 Budget that a specialized Makhana Board will be established in Bihar.

By forming farmers into Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and offering them assistance and training to guarantee they take advantage of government programs, the board hopes to improve makhana production, processing, value addition, and marketing.

PM Modi gave the First Lady a stunning Banarasi saree, a Varanasi traditional masterpiece known for its pricey silk, elaborate brocades, and sumptuous zari work.

A specially made brass and copper pitcher filled with holy water from the Sangam in Prayagraj, which was gathered during the ongoing Mahakumbh, was also given as a gift. This gesture represented the close spiritual and cultural ties that Mauritius and India share.

PM Modi highlighted the close diplomatic and cultural relations between the two countries earlier in the day by attending the Mauritius National Day celebrations as the Chief Guest. The Prime Minister thanked President Gokhool for the cordial welcome and reaffirmed India’s dedication to its long-standing friendship with Mauritius during a special lunch hosted by the president. He characterized the occasion as a representation of the strong and intimate relations between the two nations as well as a meal.

Prime Minister Modi was given a traditional Bihari welcome in Mauritius earlier in the day, with a “geet gawai” event held in his honor.

The traditional Bhojpuri musical group “Geet gawain” represents the rich cultural legacy that women from India’s Bhojpuri belt brought to Mauritius.

“Happy arrival in Mauritius. The Geet-Gawai performance’s profound cultural connection was one of the highlights. PM Modi wrote on X, “It is admirable how the great Bhojpuri language flourishes in Mauritius culture.”

NDTV Explains Nepal’s ‘Return Of The King’ Movement. A Hindu Monarchy Again?

Nearly seventeen years ago, on May 28, 2008, to be precise, Nepal ended a ten-year civil war that had claimed the lives of over 16,000 people by abolishing a Hindu monarchy that had existed for 239 years, with Gyanendra Shah as its king. It was reconstituted as a federal, secular republic with a Hindu majority.

Amid worries about political instability, corruption, a crisis in the cost of living, unemployment, and a lack of economic development, thousands of people—some estimates put the number at over 10,000—staged a campaign on Sunday to reverse the course of history and urge the return of Shah.

As Shah, who had been traveling the country, maybe to gauge the strength of support, stepped out of the Kathmandu airport, the chant “Come King, save the nation…” echoed.

“The nation is unstable. There is a shortage of healthcare and education, exorbitant costs, and unemployment,” 43-year-old teacher and pro-monarchy demonstrator Rajindra Kunwar told AFP. “The public is subject to the law, but politicians are exempt. We therefore require the king.

Having had 13 governments since 2008, Nepal’s “instability” is highlighted.

This is not new, to start.

Most people held the Nepalese monarch in high regard prior to its abolition.

Following Shah’s 2005 takeover of power, that declined. When anti-monarchy demonstrations erupted in 2006, Shah was compelled to cede his recently acquired power to the nascent administration.

However, reverence for the Hindu royalty remained.

Periodically, there were demonstrations demanding the king’s return. The most recent was in 2020, when The Record Nepal reported widespread protests by Hindu and royalist parties, notably in the east, the region from where current Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli hails.

Additionally, in 2023, police in Kathmandu used tear gas on a crowd calling for the restoration of the monarchy.

The fifth-largest Hindu nationalist party in the House, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party, was largely responsible for the resurgence of such sentiments on Sunday.

Gyanendra Shah’s popularity has reportedly grown, according to the Kathmandu Post, but political observers there do not anticipate him regaining power.

Why Does Nepal Now Support the Monarchy?

To put it briefly, the people of Nepal are not happy with their nation as a republic.

According to data from the International Monetary Fund, economic growth has slowed recently. Before dropping to less than 5% last year, real GDP reached a peak of 9% in 2015. Last year, the average consumer price inflation rate was 4.6%.

People who greeted Shah at the airport on Sunday expressed their hope that a change will occur to prevent their nation from getting worse. “We are here to support the king wholeheartedly and to stand by him through thick and thin.” Thir Bahadur, 72, said to The Associated Press.

There are also former anti-monarchists involved.

After protesting to overthrow Shah, 30-year-old carpenter Kulraj Shrestha has changed his views and is now in favor of the monarchy. “The worst issue is that lawmakers are doing nothing because of widespread corruption. I participated in the demonstrations that overthrew the monarchy, but I was wrong, and the country has since fallen much worse. Thus, I have had a change of heart,” he informed AP.

Chair In Hand, Tongue Sticking Out: Justin Trudeau’s Parliament Exit Is Viral

Justin Trudeau was photographed leaving Parliament with a chair and his tongue protruding after he resigned as prime minister of Canada.

In a post on X, Brian Lilley, a political columnist for the Toronto Sun, pointed out that it is customary for Canadian legislators to take their seats with them when they depart Parliament.

“Any MP is free to take their chair and seat with them when they depart the Commons. I support this tradition because I think it is fantastic. Still, it is a strange picture of Trudeau taking his. He remarked on X, “Perhaps another indication of an impending election.”

Hours before the announcement of his successor as his party’s leader, Justin Trudeau emphasized the Liberal Party’s “achievements” over the previous ten years in his remarks as he stepped down, according to CBC News.

“I am damn proud of what we have done over these past 10 years for the middle class and the folks working hard to join it,” Justin Nauau stated during his statement at the Liberal Leadership Convention.

Justin Trudeau addressed the gathering as the Liberal Party embarks on a new chapter, saying, “There is a responsibility to ensure that Canada stays the best country on Earth! He asked his followers to continue fighting as hard as they can for Canada in one of his final speeches as Liberal leader and prime minister of Canada.

In response to public outrage over his government’s handling of a housing crisis and growing living expenses, Justin Trudeau resigned on January 6 as both prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party.

Mark Carney, Canada’s prime minister-designate, was chosen on Sunday to guide the Liberal Party of Canada into the upcoming federal elections later this year.

Carney took on this responsibility as Canada tries to avoid a trade war with US President Donald Trump.

He wrote in a post on X, “Thank you. We are strongest when we are united, therefore let us work together to create a stronger Canada.

“Bihar’s ‘Makhana’ Will Soon Be A Global Snack”: PM Modi In Mauritius

With his hands folded, Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the Indian community in Mauritius. “I went to Mauritius on the same day ten years ago,” he remembered. A week had passed since Holi. This time, I shall travel to India with the colors of Holi. During his speech, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the evolution of India-Mauritius relations, referring to the two nations as “one family.”

“I feel like I am among my own people whenever I go to Mauritius. “The air, soil, and water here have a sense of belonging,” PM Modi remarked.

The greatest honor for PM Modi

PM Modi received the highest honor of Mauritius, “The Grand Commander of the Order of the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean,” according to Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam. In his speech, PM Modi thanked the Mauritius government and people and expressed his sincere acceptance of the honor.

“I have been bestowed with the highest civilian honor by the people and government of Mauritius. I respectfully and sincerely accept this decision. This is an honor for the longstanding relationship between Mauritius and India, not just for me,” he stated.
“When the Pran Prathistha event took place in Ayodhya and jubilation erupted in India, we observed similar festivities in Mauritius,” Prime Minister Modi stated in reference to the relationship between India and Mauritius.

PM Modi revealed that he gave President Dharambeer Gokhool Gangajal, or holy water, which he had obtained from Maha Kumbh. “Tomorrow, this sacred water will be presented to the Ganga pond here. Ganga Jal was transported from Gaumukh to Mauritius fifty years ago, where it was presented to the Ganga pond.

“If we look in terms of language and food, there is a mini-India existing in Mauritius,” Prime Minister Modi said, referring to the island nation as a bouquet of diverse cultures. This is a miniature version of India.

According to PM Modi, Mauritius has appeared in a number of Indian motion pictures. “Shooting in Mauritius boosts the chances of an Indian film being a smash,” he continued.

“Mauritius is more than simply a partner nation. Mauritius is family to us. This connection, which has its roots in history, tradition, and the human spirit, is profound and powerful. Additionally, Mauritius serves as a link between India and the larger global South. I unveiled India’s SAGAR vision ten years ago, in 2015, my first year as prime minister.
