SkyWest airplane

Seems like aviation atrocities are not going to end anytime soon. Recently, a SkyWest flight got delayed for an hour after a clash broke out between two flight attendants.

Reports said the incident happened on March 12 when the flight was about to take off from Los Angeles to Houston. A video, now-deleted, was shared by a passenger, Ashley Brewer wherein a male flight attendant was seen arguing with his woman colleague after a disagreement.

Reportedly, a woman passenger requested the male flight attendant if she could exchange seats with a person in the economy to sit beside her husband during the journey. The male attendant agreed, however, his colleague refused.

This disagreement triggered the crew members to bicker about the airline’s rules and regulations. Things turned ugly when the female flight attendant decided to leave the aircraft. Further, the gate crew handled the situation and replaced both crew members.

After the incident came to light, the SkyWest flight responded to it and claimed that the airline was not aware of the situation.

The company, in a statement, said it regrets the action of its staff members and also apologised for the inconvenience. It further apologised to the passengers onboard for the delay and informed them that an internal investigation is being conducted in connection to the incident.

A few days back, as many as 30 international passengers flying from Colombo became the victims of a human error at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. Reports said the passengers arrived on a Sri Lankan Airlines flight UL 173 and were dropped off at the domestic arrivals bus gate and entered the domestic baggage claim.

The passengers affected were shifted immediately to the international arrivals area for immigration after the airport staff members were alerted by the authorities. The airport spokesperson called it a human error.

US expresses concern over Citizenship Amendment Act, says closely monitoring its implementation in India

The tribal areas, where Autonomous District Councils (ADC) were formed under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution, were also exempted from the purview of the CAA, as per the government officials.

The United States today expressed its concern over the notification of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) by the Indian government on March 11 and said it is closely monitoring the implementation of the Act in India.

State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, at his daily briefing, said that they were concerned about the notification of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 on March 11. They have been closely monitoring this Act and how this Act will be implemented in India.

Respect for religious freedom and equal treatment under the law for all communities are fundamental democratic principles, Miller added.

The Ministry of Home Affairs on March 11 notified the CCA rules for the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019, after it was passed almost five years ago. Notably, the Centre has reduced the qualification period of application for citizenship from 11 to 5 years for eligible migrants who came to India before December 31, 2014.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, taking to X on March 11, said the Modi government today notified the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024. These rules will now enable minorities persecuted on religious grounds in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to acquire citizenship in our nation. With this notification PM Modi has delivered on another commitment and realised the promise of the makers of the constitution to the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians living in those countries.

In a press statement, the central government clarified that Indian Muslims need not worry as the CAA will not impact their citizenship.

The Act will not be implemented in all Northeastern States, where an Inner Line Permit (ILP) is required for a visit by people from other parts of the country, including those given special status under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution. Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur come under the ILP.

The tribal areas, where Autonomous District Councils (ADC) were formed under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution, were also exempted from the purview of the CAA, as per the government officials.

Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have agreed on a power-sharing deal to form a new coalition government after days of intense negotiations, as per the senior party leaders.

On Tuesday night, in a joint conference, the PPP Chairman Bhutto announced that PML-N president, 72-year-old Shehbaz Sharif will be the Prime Minister of Pakistan once again and the PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari, 68, is set to assume the role of the President of Pakistan again.

Speaking to reports, Bhutto said the PPP and PML-N have achieved the required number, and now they were in a position to form the government.

He said the former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party-backed candidates and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) could not achieve a simple majority in Parliament to form government in the Centre.

Bilawal hoped that the political alliance with PML-N to form a coalition government would result in a positive market response since the cash-strapped country faced a hung Parliament after the February 8 elections.

Independent candidates, who were supported by the 71-year-old Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, managed to secure 93 seats in the National Assembly.

Shehbaz Sharif, in his speech, expressed confidence that his PML-N party, along with the PPP, now has the necessary numbers to form the next government. He also thanked the leadership of both parties for successfully concluding the talks.

According to the reports, the former prime minister highlighted the unity between the two political parties and their strong position to form the government at the Centre.

The PML-N secured 75 seats in the election, while the PPP came in third with 54 seats. Additionally, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) has agreed to support the two parties with their 17 seats.

To form a government, a party must win 133 out of 265 contested seats in the 266-member National Assembly or the lower house of Parliament.
