Krait caught slithering in snakebike victims' ward
1 2 3 Chandigarh: An uninvited guest — a venomous krait — slithered into the heart of the Govt Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Sector 32. The krait was spotted at the entrance of the intensive care unit (ICU) on Saturday late night — a unit ironically equipped to handle the very victims of snake bites. The dramatic event sent ripples of alarm through the hospital, though things were managed on time. "It was managed on time as the snake was spotted outside the ICU entrance," said Dr Manpreet, ICU in-charge. He said, "It perhaps entered through the drainage pipe and therefore we will soon place a mesh there." An eyewitness recounted the moment: "The guard used a wiper and stick to wrap the snake around to dispose of it." Hospital staff, already accustomed to the quiet hum of life-support machines, suddenly faced a different and unusual threat. In a late-night decision, staff chose to rely on internal security over an external rescue service, fearing that a time delay could allow the reptile to slither into the very ward that treats snakebite victims. "The first reaction was to call the security staff instead of any helpline for such reptiles as there was hardly anyone aware of the number. Also, by the time help would have arrived, the snake would have crept inside the ICU," said a staff member.

These reptiles have also been observed crawling near the Sector 48-GMCH extension hospital. "I called 112 and they came to rescue us," said a GMCH staff member. The daring capture of the krait has brought to light a critical concern for the hospital's frontline security staff. A security guard, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, "There is no medical coverage for the security personnel who are on contract. If there had been some mishap during the catching of the snake, who would have helped the guard?" MSID:: 122818917 413 |

Unsecured loans poses risks to asset quality, RBI data shows
Mainstream lenders across the ownership spectrum – state or private – continue to grapple with suspect asset quality on advances to unsecured personal and retail accounts, although once-elevated risk weights on the category were lately restored to the original after the share of these loans in the overall lending pie slowed through the past year. Latest central bank data showed that private banks now account for nearly four-fifths of the fresh retail slippages between September 2024 and March 2025. State-run banks aren't free of the problem either: Together, they have the highest share in Special Mention Account (SMA) category loans – or those overdue by up to 90 days - at 10.5% of unsecured retail loans at the end of March 2025. 'Slippages in unsecured retail loans remain elevated for private sector banks, with this category dominating the overall slippage in retail loan segment,' the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) noted in its financial stability report. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linda Kozlowski, 67, Shows Off Her Perfect Figure In A New Photo Today's NYC Undo For the entire banking system, the gross non-performing asset (GNPA) ratio in the unsecured retail loan category stood at 1.8% at the end of March 2025. Private sector banks had the highest share of 52.6% in GNPA of unsecured retail loans, followed by public sector banks at 40.5%. The SMA ratio , an indicator of possible stress build-up in the loan book, has increased, led by public sector banks. In SMA category loans—those overdue between 0 to 90 days—public sector banks held the largest share at 10.5% of unsecured retail loans, followed by private sector banks at 5.2%. For the overall banking system, this stood at 7.4%. Live Events According to RBI data, growth in bank loans to unsecured retail borrowers slowed to 11.6% between September 2023 and March 2025, compared to 27% growth during the period from September 2021 to September 2023. Bank loans to NBFCs also moderated to 8.8% during the same period, down from 28.7% growth between September 2021 and September 2023. Even as unsecured retail lending has moderated, it still accounts for 25% of overall retail loans and 8.3% of gross advances. NBFCs, including housing finance companies (HFCs), and fintech firms account for 84.3% of personal loans below Rs 50,000. RBI data also showed that fintech NBFCs had a significant 51.5% share in personal loans below Rs 50,000, followed by NBFCs including HFCs at 32.8% and private banks at 7.7%. The data further indicated that nearly 68.3% of borrowers with personal loans below Rs 50,000 had three live loans. 'Around 10% of the borrowers availing a personal loan under Rs 50,000 had an overdue personal loan,' the RBI noted. 'A little over two-thirds of borrowers who have availed personal loans in the last quarter had more than three live loans at the time of origination.'

US warship reported heading toward Mideast as Iran, Israel fight
The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz was leaving Southeast Asia on Monday after cancelling plans to dock in Vietnam, amid reports it is headed to the Middle East to boost the US presence as Israel and Iran do battle. At 13:45 GMT, the carrier was traveling through the Malacca Strait toward the Indian Ocean, according to Marine Traffic, a ship-tracking site. A Vietnamese government official confirmed to AFP that a planned reception aboard the USS Nimitz on June 20, as part of the ship's expected June 19-23 visit to Danang, had been cancelled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linda Kozlowski, 67, Shows Off Her Perfect Figure In A New Photo Today's NYC The official shared a letter from the US embassy announcing that the Defense Department was cancelling the event due to "an emergent operational requirement." The US Embassy in Hanoi declined to comment to AFP, as did a spokesman for the Nimitz. Live Events The movement of one of the world's largest warships came on day four of the escalating air war between Israel and Iran, with no end in sight despite international calls for de-escalation. Israel's strikes have so far killed at least 224 people, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians, according to Iranian authorities. In retaliation, Iran said it had struck Israel with a salvo of missiles and warned of "effective, targeted and more devastating operations" to come. US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Monday said that Iran's missile barrage had lightly damaged a building used by the American embassy in Tel Aviv.

Air India crash: Boeing 787 Dreamliner goes down in Ahmedabad, Boeing stock plunges 7% amid global safety fears
Air India Flight 171 goes down in Ahmedabad, Boeing stock plunges 7% as safety fears explode: Boeing is once again under intense scrutiny after one of its aircraft— a 787 Dreamliner operated by Air India —crashed during landing in Ahmedabad, India, early today. The incident has sparked investor panic, raising global concerns over the safety of Boeing aircraft, especially the 787 model. The flight was reportedly en route from London to Ahmedabad when it suffered a critical failure during landing. Multiple emergency services were deployed to the site. As of now, details on casualties or survivors have not been confirmed publicly, but the incident has sent shockwaves through the aviation industry and rattled investor confidence in Boeing. According to CNBC-TV18 and ForexLive, this is the first fatal crash involving a 787 Dreamliner, which makes the event particularly alarming. Boeing's share price dropped to around $173 in early trading, marking one of the company's steepest single-day declines in months. How much did Boeing stock drop after the crash?

Price Movement : Shares dropped from around $186 to $173 within hours on June 12, 2025 . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Linda Kozlowski, 67, Shows Off Her Perfect Figure In A New Photo Today's NYC Undo Why did Boeing stock plunge after the Air India Dreamliner crash? The sudden drop in Boeing stock is largely driven by fears surrounding the safety of the 787 Dreamliner. Over the past decade, Boeing has faced multiple setbacks with the 787 series—from battery fires to structural and manufacturing flaws. This latest crash could mark a turning point, as it has resulted in actual loss of aircraft and possibly life, though that part is still developing. Investors are now questioning whether more regulatory actions or flight groundings could follow. Historically, similar incidents—like the two fatal crashes involving the 737 MAX—led to worldwide grounding of the aircraft and billions in losses for Boeing. The company has barely recovered from that episode, and this crash has revived those fears. Live Events Adding to the pressure is the fact that the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and FAA are expected to begin a deep investigation. If any fault is found in the aircraft design, software, or Boeing's manufacturing processes, it could have long-lasting financial and reputational consequences. What does this mean for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner program? The crash of Air India Flight 171 puts a harsh spotlight back on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner line. Despite being touted for its fuel efficiency and long-haul comfort, the Dreamliner has been plagued by a series of technical issues. In 2023 and early 2024, whistleblowers raised alarms about loose fasteners, improper fuselage fittings, and overlooked safety inspections during assembly. Earlier this year, the FAA launched a 90-day audit into Boeing's quality control processes after multiple reports of inconsistent safety checks. The Dreamliner was already under the microscope, and this crash could push regulators to take firmer action—possibly grounding parts of the 787 fleet until further inspections are complete. Air India, owned by the Tata Group, had recently begun expanding its international fleet, including heavy investments in Dreamliners. Now, the Indian airline may have to reconsider its fleet strategy if public confidence doesn't return quickly. Are analysts and regulators losing confidence in Boeing again? Before today's crash, some analysts were starting to turn bullish on Boeing, with several firms including Jefferies and Bank of America recently raising their price targets. The appointment of new CEO Kelly Ortberg earlier this year was also seen as a positive step toward improving the company's safety culture. But this new crash is testing that optimism. Industry experts warn that even a single fatal incident—especially involving a model already under scrutiny—can have huge ripple effects on orders, deliveries, and share performance. From a regulatory standpoint, this crash could spark not only investigations in India but also a global review of 787s currently in service. Given the growing list of prior incidents—from battery fires in 2013 to the 2024 reports of incomplete inspections—this event might be the tipping point. Why did the Boeing 787 crash in Ahmedabad and what do we know so far? Flight AI 171 had just taken off from Ahmedabad, reportedly heading toward London, when it encountered trouble. According to initial reports, the pilot sent out a mayday distress call before losing contact. The aircraft then crashed into a residential building, leading to casualties both onboard and possibly on the ground. DGCA and FAA investigations are underway, and Boeing has said it's 'gathering more information.' The exact cause is still unknown, but this event has already prompted global concern over the 787 fleet. How did the stock market react to the Air India Boeing 787 crash? The crash triggered an immediate reaction in the stock market. In U.S. premarket trading, Boeing shares plunged 7–8%, with figures ranging from –7.5% to –8.1% reported. By the time U.S. markets opened around 11:46 AM UTC, Boeing's share price had slightly recovered, sitting at $214.00, reflecting a -0.8% intraday drop. The impact wasn't limited to Boeing alone. Suppliers and partners also took a hit: GE Aerospace, which makes the 787's GEnx engines, dropped ~4.7% Rolls-Royce, another engine supplier, fell ~2.5% Spirit AeroSystems, responsible for fuselage sections, slid ~2.9% Is this Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash a one-off or part of a bigger safety issue? This tragedy brings back painful memories of Boeing's troubled past, especially the 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people. Though the 787 Dreamliner has had a solid safety record until now, it wasn't free from scrutiny. Earlier concerns involved: 2013 battery fires, leading to a global FAA grounding of the Dreamliner fleet 2019–2024 manufacturing complaints, with whistleblowers accusing Boeing of shortcuts and quality lapses in 787 assembly A broader cultural shift inside Boeing, where critics allege cost-cutting took priority over engineering, particularly after the McDonnell Douglas merger This crash, being the first fatal accident involving the 787, may prompt fleet-wide inspections, depending on what the investigation uncovers. What are regulators like the FAA and DGCA likely to do next? The DGCA (India) and the FAA (U.S.) have both launched investigations, and their findings could have serious global implications. If any design or manufacturing flaws are discovered, it could lead to: Temporary groundings of the 787 Dreamliner fleet Enhanced safety inspections New regulatory mandates Boeing has previously undergone 90-day FAA audit plans and paid over $1.1 billion in 2024 to settle past regulatory issues linked to the 737 Max tragedies. With this new incident, global aviation safety bodies such as EASA may also become involved. Will Boeing recover, or is this another major setback for the aviation giant? Investor sentiment is split. Analysts from Jefferies and Bank of America had recently upgraded Boeing to a 'Buy', citing improved production discipline, delivery backlog, and better leadership under CEO Kelly Ortberg. Some saw the $260 target price as realistic. But with the Air India crash, even optimistic forecasts are now under review. On platforms like Reddit, aviation communities are deeply divided. Some believe the drop is a "knee-jerk reaction" and a rebound could follow. Others argue trust in Boeing's long-term safety is still fragile, and this crash could reignite global skepticism. What should flyers and investors watch for next? The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash of Air India AI 171 is a turning point. The industry is watching for: The outcome of DGCA and FAA investigations Boeing's internal response and possible 787 fleet reviews Any signs of recurring safety or manufacturing flaws How the stock market reacts in the coming days as new information surfaces For now, Boeing's $214 share price may hold steady, but its long-term trajectory depends on whether this crash is ruled an isolated technical failure—or a symptom of deeper systemic issues. FAQs: Q1: What happened to Air India flight AI 171 on June 12, 2025? Air India AI 171, a Boeing 787, crashed near Ahmedabad after takeoff, killing at least 30. Q2: Is Boeing 787 Dreamliner safe after the AI 171 crash? The crash has raised global safety questions, and investigations by FAA and DGCA are ongoing.
