In a significant development, the governments of India and Canada have reached a deal to share information about cross-border crimes in the latest step towards rebuilding ties nearly two years after ties nosedived following former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's allegations on the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The new information-sharing deal, which includes law enforcement agencies from both countries, will allow both sides to swap intelligence on transnational crime and syndicates, terrorism and extremist activities, according to a report by Bloomberg, citing officials who asked not to be identified because the discussions are still private.

Air India crash: DGCA directs full staff presence on June 14 amid probe
Amid the ongoing probe following the horrific Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that its headquarters will remain open on Saturday (June 14), and will follow normal working hours. According to an office order dated June 13, the move aims to ensure continued functioning of the DGCA (Hqrs). 'It has been decided that DGCA (Hqrs) shall remain open on 14.06.2025 (Saturday) and observe normal working hours,' it states. The DGCA headquarters are open from Monday to Friday. The office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The order further instructs all officers and officials of the DGCA to strictly adhere to the directive. 'All the Officers/Officials of Directorate General of Civil Aviation are accordingly directed to ensure strict compliance to the said directions,' it adds. The wide-body jet was carrying a total of 242 passengers and crew, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 British citizens, seven from Portugal, and one Canadian. A distress call was made at 1.39 pm local time, and the plane managed to reach only about 625 ft in altitude before vanishing from radar. Just moments after the pilot transmitted 'MAYDAY, MAYDAY…' to air traffic control, the aircraft burst into flames and crashed outside the airport boundary. Only one passenger, 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, seated in 11A, was the only survivor of the crash.

Air India flight crash: High-level inquiry panel formed To determine what caused the June 12 crash and recommend safeguards, the government has set up a multi-disciplinary committee headed by the Union home secretary. According to the ministry, the panel 'will focus on formulating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for preventing and handling such occurrences in the future, and will publish its report in three months,' while other statutory investigations by the AAIB and allied agencies continue in parallel. UK offers help, envoy meets PM Modi British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron travelled to Ahmedabad on Friday, where she toured the crash scene, visited the injured at the civil hospital and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking to news agency PTI, Cameron said the United Kingdom and India are 'working together' to establish facts surrounding the accident. 'We have offered consular support to the sole survivor,' she said. 'I have been here since yesterday, visiting the crash site, visiting the hospital, meeting Prime Minister Modi, meeting the first responders… working tirelessly for the last 24 hours.' Earlier on Friday, Prime Minister Modi spent about 20 minutes at the crash location before meeting those undergoing treatment at Ahmedabad's civil hospital, where he reviewed medical care and met families of the victims.
