#InPics | 📸 UAE Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed meets Flydubai Captain Smit Machchhar, praising the Indian pilot for his “courage, responsibility and care for human life.” Machchhar was injured when his co-pilot allegedly attacked him aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073, which was flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30. The aircraft subsequently plunged thousands of feet before Machchhar, despite being wounded, managed to open the cockpit door and allow passengers and other pilots to intervene. The flight was diverted and landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, with 174 people on board. Following his meeting with Machchhar, Sheikh Hamdan said the pilot had the “full appreciation and praise” of the UAE leadership, adding that the UAE was proud to have him as part of its team and the nation's story. Machchhar is currently recovering in Abu Dhabi after being transferred from Saudi Arabia.

#WATCH 🚨 | Delhi & Mumbai | Protests were held across the two cities on October 2, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. In Delhi, protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar, where police detained hundreds after denying permission for the demonstration. Opposition leaders, student groups and civil-society activists were among those who joined the protest. In Mumbai, thousands gathered at Shivaji Park for a protest led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) despite police denying permission. The protesters raised slogans and carried placards calling for Kumar’s resignation and questioning the SIR exercise. The protests come amid a wider dispute over the revision of electoral rolls, with critics raising concerns over voter deletions and the Election Commission defending the process. The CJP has announced further protests, including a planned mobilisation in Delhi on October 10. #WATCH #Delhi #Mumbai #GyaneshKumar #ElectionCommission #SIR #Protest #VoterRolls
