IndiGo's Ahmedabad-Diu flight aborts take-off due to technical snag; DGCA launches probe
AHMEDABAD: An IndiGo flight bound for Diu was forced to abort take-off after a cockpit engine fire alert triggered panic. This near-miss comes just over a month after the deadly crash of Air India flight AI-171, which killed 260 people, including those on board and on the ground. Flight 6E-7966, operated on an ATR aircraft (VT-IYA), was preparing to take off from Ahmedabad when pilots suddenly received an 'engine one flameout' warning. Reacting swiftly, the crew rejected take-off and brought the aircraft to a safe halt. All 70 passengers and crew members on board escaped unhurt. The aircraft has now been grounded for detailed checks. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a formal probe into the incident, aiming to determine what triggered the fire alert. Reacting on the incident , An IndiGo Spokesperson says, "A technical snag indication was noticed just before take-off on IndiGo flight 6E7966 operating from Ahmedabad to Diu on 23 July 2025. Following the standard operating procedure, the pilots informed the authorities and returned the aircraft to bay. The aircraft will undergo necessary checks and maintenance before resuming operations."

Rakovina Therapeutics KT-5000AI Program Yields Potent ATR Inhibitor Hits in Early Screening
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. ('Rakovina' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: RKV) (FSE: 7JO0), a biopharmaceutical company advancing next-generation cancer therapies through artificial intelligence (AI)-powered drug discovery, today announced meaningful progress in its AI-driven KT-5000AI program, advancing the development of precision ATR (Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad3-related) inhibitors designed to disrupt the DNA Damage Response pathway in cancer cells. Through its collaboration with Variational AI , Rakovina Therapeutics evaluated a vast chemical space of potential molecular structures using artificial intelligence to identify novel compounds designed to selectively inhibit ATR. A subset of these AI-generated candidates has been synthesized and has advanced through initial biological screening, with multiple compounds demonstrating potent ATR inhibition in nanomolar concentration range. The most promising candidates are being prioritized for further characterization and potential development. 'The progress we're seeing in the KT-5000AI program highlights the advantage of combining artificial intelligence with modern drug design,' said Dr. Mads Daugaard, Rakovina's President and Chief Scientific Officer. 'We're particularly encouraged by the number of active compounds emerging from the first wave of screening and look forward to advancing the most promising candidates through further evaluation and development.' ATR inhibitors represent a fast-growing class of oncology therapeutics, with the global ATR inhibitor market valued at approximately US $1.24 billion in 2024, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 17.8% through 2033, with forecasts projecting a market size of over US $5.1 billion by 2033 (source: Growth Markets Reports ). This growth is fueled by increasing validation of ATR as an oncology target, rising need for therapies addressing replication stress and DNA repair–deficient tumors, and a shift toward personalized, AI-enabled drug development. Rakovina's KT-5000AI series is well-positioned to capture value in this expanding landscape by delivering next-generation compounds with improved selectivity, potency, and therapeutic index. About Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. Rakovina Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical research company focused on the development of innovative cancer treatments. Our work is based on unique technologies for targeting the DNA-damage response powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) using the proprietary Deep-Docking™ and Enki™ platforms. By using AI, we can review and optimize drug candidates at a much greater pace than ever before. The Company has established a pipeline of distinctive DNA-damage response inhibitors with the goal of advancing one or more drug candidates into human clinical trials in collaboration with pharmaceutical partners.

Particulars Data Complaints pending on May 31 4,563 Complaints received during June 4,959 Pending on June 30, 2025 5,107 Complaints disposed during June 2025 4,415 Average resolution time (in days) ATR 8 Complaints disposed during June stand at 4,415 which is 10 percent less than the number of complaints received (4,959) during this time. Additionally, average resolution time in the number of days for issuing action taken report (ATR) stood at eight days in June, reveals Sebi data. 1. Complaints are automatically forwarded to entity which is given 21 days to submit the action taken report (ATR) to investor. 2. Investor can opt for the first-level review within 15 days if not satisfied with the ATR. The complaint is shown in the pending list for 15 days despite ATR is submitted by entity. 3. If investor does not opt for review, the complaint is disposed off. If investor opts for first-level review, the designated body will take up the complaint and submit action taken report. 4. Now, the investor will have a time of 15 days to opt for second level review if not satisfied with the ATR submitted by designated body. The complaint is shown in pending list for 15 days despite ATR is submitted by Designated Body. 5. Now, when the investor does not go for the review, the complaint is then disposed. 6. However, if investor now goes for the second level review, the SEBI will take up the complaint and submit action taken report. 7.
