Tri-services all-woman circumnavigation sailing expedition team returns home
'Aboard the indigenously-built Indian Armed Services Vessel 'Triveni', a 56-foot sailing yacht, the team of 11 women officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force navigated nearly two months of challenging open-sea conditions. Enduring tropical squalls, rough sea states, and extended fatigue, the crew demonstrated exceptional endurance and unflinching resolve,' the defence minister said in a statement. The historic expedition, launched on April 7 from Mumbai, marked the first-ever international open-sea sailing mission by an all-woman team from the Indian armed forces. New Delhi, Jun 4 (PTI) A tri-services circumnavigation sailing expedition team comprising 12 women officers returned home on Wednesday after completing a ground-breaking international voyage to Seychelles during which they faced tropical squalls, rough seas and extended fatigue. The tri-services sailing expedition team returned home on June 4 after 'completing a ground-breaking 1,800-nautical-mile international voyage to Seychelles,' it said. The expedition was ceremonially flagged-in by Commandant, College of Military Engineering Lieutenant General AK Ramesh in Mumbai. He hailed the mission as a milestone in the journey of gender-inclusive operational excellence. Applauding the courage and determination of the team, he emphasised the growing role of women as key contributors to the armed forces' operational strength. The Mumbai-Seychelles-Mumbai expedition not only symbolises the empowerment of women in the armed forces but also pays tribute to India's legendary warrior queens such as Rani Velu Nachiyar, Rani Durgavati and Rani Lakshmi Bai, whose deeds continue to inspire generations, the ministry had earlier said. The crew included Lt Col Anuja, Maj Karamjeet, Maj Tanyah, Capt Omita, Capt Dauli and Capt Prajakta from the Indian Army; Lt Cdr Priyanka from the Indian Navy; and Sqn Ldr Vibha, Sqn Ldr Shraddha, Sqn Ldr Aruvi and Sqn Ldr Vaishali from the Indian Air Force. 'As India continues to expand its maritime footprint and capabilities, the successful completion of this voyage serves as a symbol of the armed forces' commitment to excellence, equality, and strategic vision — led proudly by its women warriors on the high seas,' the statement said.

Horoscope Today, June 03, 2025: Saturn's Transit Impact on Your Zodiac Sign & Remedies
Saturn is the planet of our karmas. It teaches us valuable lessons by encouraging us to learn from our mistakes. Saturn wants us to grow, evolve, and continuously improve as we move forward in our life journey. It also wants us to introspect about our actions to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Currently, Saturn is transiting into the sign of Pisces, and from this position, it will be casting its influence on the lives of all zodiac signs. Let us discover Saturn's cosmic guidelines for you today and how you can seek his blessings in this Daily Shani Horoscope. Saturn Horoscope Today for Aries It is reflection that leads one to wise choices. Today, Saturn wills that you make a pause before doing anything. Never rush; instead, sit for a moment, empty of all thoughts, just observing your feelings. This clarity from within should be all that shall instruct your footsteps. Try to maintain some space in your day just for silent thinking. Observe this: mindful choices made in the value of time will build powerful results that become better with time. Saturn Remedy: Plant and nurture Peepal trees and never harm them. Saturn Horoscope Today for Taurus Say what has to be said; for now, it is time to do it. One can count on Saturn to encourage honesty today. If you have something on your mind, say it out loud, with respect and calm intonation. Don't be held back by the thought that perhaps others will judge you; in these sorts of situations, always believe in your own maturity. Practice stating what you really mean, and watch how picking the perfect moment and the perfect words enhances your own confidence and a mutual bond. Saturn Remedy: Regularly read scriptures related to Saturn. Saturn Horoscope Today for Gemini Never underestimate the power of showing up. Saturn teaches you that being reliable is worth more than a loud success. Be present even when uncertain. Follow through with your plans and complete one important task without distraction. Account for your time and others' time. Consider the power of simply being consistent—in relationships, your work, and health—to quietly forge the future you've been waiting for. Saturn Remedy: Practice honesty and integrity in all dealings. Saturn Horoscope Today for Cancer Old fears become weaker when named. Stop hiding from what pains the heart, says Saturn. Take time to write about it, or say it aloud today, if only to yourself. Calm comes with seeing the truth. Do one small thing that goes in the face of that fear. Consider how gently revealing this fear to yourself breaks down those inner walls and delivers an emotional freedom that lasts. Saturn Remedy: Assist the elderly and handicapped, especially on Saturdays. Saturn Horoscope Today for Leo One bold action stops the momentum. Saturn will support thoughtful courage today. Be confident and take a deep step for something that you have delayed thus far. Planning ahead well is very important, so proceed with a calm mind devoid of any anguish or apprehensions. Discipline your acts and continue through until the end without getting distracted. Think of a situation when one clear-cut decision offers new energy and thus sets a clearer path. Saturn Remedy: Carry or wear a Shani Yantra for protection. Saturn Horoscope Today for Virgo You will embrace compassionate leadership. Of course, Saturn wants to remind you that leadership is founded in compassion. Lead by example, be patient with those who are slow. Stay organised but able to bend in kind. Be kind while providing correction. Consider the concept that gentle authority and unchanging routine nurture peace and respect in personal and professional worlds. Saturn Remedy: Wear black shoes and keep them clean and polished. Saturn Horoscope Today for Libra New focuses equal unexpected results. Saturn encourage us to direct our energy to that which really matters. If you want the anticipated results, hold the thought of balancing everything lightly and instead focus on just one thing. Adhere firmly to your schedule and avoid division by distractions. See how one-sided disciplined healing glues other areas. Consider that a value that is far too large to dive into may very well be the key that narrows your path to success. Saturn Remedy: Fast on Saturdays to honour Shani. Saturn Horoscope Today for Scorpio Keep it simple as your strategy. The number one rule Saturn wants to teach is that clarity comes when you unload. Today, unwind your words, tasks, and expectations. Finish what you've already started instead of adding more. Keep calm emotionally and clean in decision-making. Think about it, amping up the clarity and structuring your day-to-day routines will give you steady progress while quitting weighing down your efforts. Saturn Remedy: Do Surya Namaskar every morning to strengthen the Sun. Saturn Horoscope Today for Sagittarius Celebrate small wins. Saturn reminds you that progress is not always loud. Focus on completing one simple task wholeheartedly, and go ahead and feel proud of it. A few too many things at a time is not an option. Build strength by respecting each movement along the way, idiomatic or not. Think about how acknowledging every little effort in spirit will empower you to keep the big picture alive. Saturn Remedy: Refrain from making life-changing decisions on Saturdays. Saturn Horoscope Today for Capricorn Surprise joy enters the front door when control is given up. Give up the pressure to handle every single detail. Attend to your obligations, yet do not interfere in the natural unfolding of life. Put in effort, let life flow. Observe how your mood lifts with no fear at just letting be while simultaneously drawing support from unexpected quarters. Saturn Remedy: Early morning water offerings to the sun with copper vessels. Saturn Horoscope Today for Aquarius A certain kind of connection makes for creative clarity. Today, Saturn places great value on good discussion. Call some deserving of your respect and give them full candidness with your thoughts. Your ideas should be disciplined, but the feedback given should be what refines them. Don't just wander alone in this world. Think about how true communication and concentrated cooperation can lift your vision from a hazy thought into a forceful action. Saturn Remedy: Engage in cleaning public places or temples on Saturdays. Saturn Horoscope Today for Pisces Saturn shall remind you that silence does a great deal of work for you. If no speedy progress or clear plan is coming through today, then let's not push for the movement. Presently, sit on your thoughts, and help put together a structure for the day by initiation through gentle habits. You may carry out journaling or meditating to warrant some insight; think about trusting in divine timing alongside this continuous listening within, which could steer you better than rushing any further. Saturn Remedy: Recite the Navagraha Stotra to pacify all planets, including Shani.

A large number of trees are set to be felled and translocated for the six-lane elevated corridors on the National Highway 44 between Paradise Junction and Dairy Farm Road and on the State Highway 1, between Paradise Junction and ORR near Shamirpet, to be built by Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority. Felling permission has been given by the Tree Protection Committee under the Forest department for a total 3,298 trees, HMDA Director, Urban Forestry, K. Srinivas informed.
