DGCA audit finds violations by Turkish Airlines
India's aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation has identified multiple safety and compliance violations by Turkish Airlines during a recent series of inspections at major Indian airports, raising concerns over the airline's adherence to international and domestic aviation standards. The audit comes amidst scanner on Turkish companies following the country's support to Pakistan during the recent geopolitical conflict. DGCA said that it conducted Safety Oversight and Ramp inspections of Turkish Airlines' passenger and cargo flights at Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru between May 29 and June 2. It found multiple deficiencies like at Bengaluru Airport, inspectors discovered that a marshaller—a ground staff member responsible for directing aircraft during taxiing—was operating without proper authorization or a valid competency card. Such credentials are mandatory under Indian aviation regulations to ensure the safe movement of aircraft on the ground. In Hyderabad and Bengaluru, the airline's ground handling agent, Globe Ground India , was found to be operating without a formal Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Turkish Airlines. Essential ground equipment, including ladders, trolleys, and Ground Power Units (GPUs), lacked proper accountability and monitoring. The absence of formal handovers from the previous ground handler, Celebi , further compounded the issue. In another case, DGCA inspectors found cargo containing hazardous materials, specifically explosives, was transported without the requisite permissions from the regulator. DGCA said that it has directed Turkish Airlines to address these violations promptly and ensure full compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards. With worsening relations between the two countries, Turkish firms have found themselves under increased glare. In May, the government has also revoked security clearance for Turkish ground handler Celebi, DGCA last week approved an extension of IndiGo 's wet lease agreement with Turkish Airlines for three months, for operating two Boeing 777 aircraft on its Delhi and Mumbai to Istanbul after the airline submitted an undertaking to terminate the lease within this extended period.

India's young side fails to clear Thailand hurdle
Back in 2019, when Stephen Constantine was the national football coach, India beat Thailand 4-0 at the AFC Asian Cup. Seven games into his tenure, coach Manolo Marquez chose a young Indian team for a friendly against Thailand on Wednesday, ahead of the country's attempt to return back to that very competition. Despite a crucial Asian Cup qualifier against Hong Kong on the road looming, and a lengthy domestic camp behind them, India conceded a two-goal loss on the road. Goals from Ben Davis and Poramet Arjivilai early in both halves handed Marquez's team yet another loss in what has been a difficult period — 8 losses, 6 draws and 1 win against Maldives, since November 2023. After a string of poor results to start his international tenure, Marquez chose a relatively young team against Thailand, who are in a similar boat as India and will face Turkmenistan in their 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Marquez didn't just change the composition of the team, but played a formation he normally doesn't choose. Thailand defeat #BlueTigers in FIFA International Friendly Check out the link for match report 🔗 ⚽️ — Indian Football Team (@IndianFootball) June 4, 2025 Sunil Chhetri and Ashique Kuruniyan started upfront for India, with Liston Colaco and Manvir Singh on the wings. Defensively too, going with Asish Rai, Anwar Ali and Abhishek Tekcham meant that India wanted pace in their backline, after their previous game against Bangladesh. But Thailand and Ben Davis had other plans. India, never really comfortable playing through the midfield, started to do just so, but were getting caught out early under Thailand's pressure. Davies opened the scoring for the home team in the eighth minute, converting a half volley right on the edge of the Indian box after a sideways pass from Korawich Tasa found him with space. India were caught slightly unawares, with a player down in the box and the Thai's choosing to continue playing. As the first half continued, India's influence in the midfield grew – but it coincided with a drop in Thailand's energy in chasing the ball. But even with that influence, came the poor decision-making in the final third, that has been the hallmark of this team. It would either be a half-hearted cross into the box to Chhetri, a player who is usually surrounded by taller centre-backs, or it would be a long shot from outside the box – attempts that came from Liston Colaco and Ashique. There would be the occasional chance – Colaco's run through the wing and then a slider into Chhetri should have come up with some dividends, but the Indian skipper got caught in the box amid too many bodies and couldn't connect with the ball well enough. Tekcham took a shot from way outside the box with his right foot that whizzed past the post. But as the half dwindled, India continued to be a goal down. That disadvantage doubled itself when Thailand scored in the 59th minute again. A few minutes earlier Chhetri had been denied a penalty and right as it seemed the away team was going to snake a goal in, Arjivirai came up with a moment of brilliance. Sliding in from the left, the Thai striker used his marker to curl a right-footed shot into Vishal Kaith's goal – a shot that curved first, dipped later and then touched the underside of the crossbar before going into goal. Two goals up and a game against Turkmenistan on the horizon, Thailand took their foot off the pedal. It led to India's strongest period in the game, and a few chances followed. But Lallianzuala Changte wasn't able to convert the simplest of one-on-ones against the Thai custodian when he was sent through on goal in the 79th minute and that missed opportunity was summed up. Marquez's team next face Hong Kong on the road, a crucial game where the Indian team needs to pick up a win to get their Asian Cup qualification on track.

13 Bangladeshis with ‘suspected political links' held in West Tripura
Thirteen Bangladeshi citizens, including two women, were detained from Hapania on the outskirts of Agartala in West Tripura district on the suspicion that they had entered India illegally, police said on Wednesday. After a long interrogation by police and security agencies, they were handed over to the mobile task force. In the preliminary probe, it was found that they had crossed the international border illegally via Raishyabari in Dhalai district. Some of the male Bangladeshis had bandages on their legs. According to sources, they were suspected to have connections with the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS), a political group in Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts. They allegedly travelled more than 170 km from the border to get medical treatment in Agartala. However, there is no official statement about their political identity. In January, the police arrested a Bangladeshi national in possession of illegal firearms, ammunition, and Indian and Bengali currency notes from the Milanchakra area of the Tripura capital. Tripura shares an 856-km-long border with Bangladesh, much of which is covered with barbed-wire fences, except for a few patches.
