Bangladesh plane crash: Three students, two guardians still missing

Dhaka: Five people, including three students and two guardians from Bangladesh's Milestone school and college are still missing after Monday's horrific air crash in Dhaka, an official statement by the institute detailed on Thursday. On a routine training exercise early Monday afternoon, the Bangladesh Air Force FT-7 BGI fighter had crashed into the building on the permanent Diabari campus of Milestone School and college. The students were reportedly waiting for their guardians after school when the plane crashed, leaving everyone 'shocked', 'speechless' and 'utterly overwhelmed', reported Bangladesh's leading daily, 'The Dhaka Tribune'. Everyone nearby rushed to the spot to assist in rescue efforts, and were soon joined by personnel from the Bangladesh Army, Fire services, Air Force, Navy and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), undertaking a high risk operation. The school authority, with utmost grief, further confirmed the death of 18 school students, as well as two teachers and two guardians. It was reported by local media that 40 students, along with seven teachers, one guardian, and two staff members were seriously injured, taking the number of injured to 51. The Milestone school authorities said that the number of these figures were reflected to only those associated with Milestone School and college, with continuous efforts to update any given information. Further, according to the notice released by the school, the list of the total figure of casualty is being compiled as well as released by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of the Bangladesh armed forces. The school authorities expressed their condolences to the families that suffered "and are suffering" because of the crash, affirming their continued support for the treatment of the ones injured.

Passenger gives birth to boy onboard Air India Express Muscat-Mumbai flight

Mumbai, Jul 24 (PTI) A baby boy was born to a woman from Thailand onboard an Air India Express flight enroute to the city from Muscat on Thursday. The airline's cabin crew and a nurse onboard helped with the delivery in the flight, according to a release. 'The moment the Thai national went into labour, the crew responded swiftly – drawing on their rigorous training to ensure a secure and compassionate environment for the birth… the pilots promptly alerted Air Traffic Control to request priority landing at Mumbai, where medical teams and an ambulance were ready on arrival. After landing at the Mumbai airport, mother and baby were immediately transferred to a nearby hospital for further care, accompanied by a female airline staff member to provide continued support, the airline said in a statement.

Ganga water quality remained within safe limits after Maha Kumbh 2025: Centre

New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) The water quality of the Ganga river remained within the permissible limits for primary bathing standards both during and after the Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, the Jal Shakti ministry said on Thursday. The monitoring conducted at eight key locations by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), including Shringverpur Ghat, Sangam, and Deeha Ghat, showed that parameters like pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Faecal Coliform (FC) were well within the acceptable limits throughout religious festivities, the Minister of State for Jal Shakti Raj Bhushan Choudhary said in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha on Thursday. The data was collected between January 12 and February 20, 2025, covering the Amrit Snan days and adjoining periods. The CPCB increased its monitoring from five to eight locations midway through the period to ensure broader coverage. According to the Ministry of Jal Shakti, the positive results reflect the effectiveness of the sanitation and wastewater management systems implemented during the Mela. The sanitation plan developed by the Prayagraj Mela Authority included temporary drainage systems spanning 250 km, the use of bioremediation ponds, and the installation of temporary sewage and faecal sludge treatment plants. After the event, these systems were dismantled and stored for future use, while disinfection measures ensured hygienic site closure, Choudhary said. The ministry also stated that under the Namami Gange Programme, 502 projects have been sanctioned with 323 completed, 150 under implementation, and 29 in the tendering stage. The Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), which conducted a third-party appraisal, found that the programme has made substantial progress in reducing pollution, improving river flow, and engaging local communities, the MoS said.
