<p>Russia and Ukraine held a third round of talks on Wednesday. Delegations from both countries met at the Çırağan Palace in Istanbul for the third round of peace talks. However, these talks yielded no significant success.</p>



<p>Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to the Russian President, and Rustem Umerov , Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, held talks with each other on Wednesday evening.</p>



<p>This closed-door meeting was chaired by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The talks lasted less than an hour.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ukraine&#8217;s Statement After the Talks</h2>



<p>After the talks concluded, Umerov said in a press conference, &#8220;We are now ready for a ceasefire and to begin more substantial peace talks. Accepting this fundamental step towards peace depends on the other side.&#8221;</p>



<p>He added, &#8220;We are insisting that there should be a ceasefire. This must completely halt attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Russia&#8217;s Statement</h2>



<p>Meanwhile, in a separate press conference after the talks, Medinsky also provided important information. He stated that Russia and Ukraine had agreed on an exchange of 1,200-1,200 prisoners of war. This includes a proposal to exchange approximately 30 civilians held captive by Ukraine in the Kursk region.</p>



<p>He said that Russia has returned the bodies of 7,000 deceased Ukrainian soldiers and is prepared to return 3,000 more. He requested Ukraine to return any number of deceased Russian soldiers.</p>



<p>He also stated that the Russian side proposed establishing three online working groups with Ukraine to consider political, humanitarian, and military issues.</p>



<p>A request was made to consider announcing a short ceasefire of 24 to 48 hours along the contact line to evacuate wounded soldiers and return the bodies of deceased soldiers.</p>



<p>Earlier, in the previous two rounds of talks held in Istanbul on 16 May and 2 June, thousands of prisoners of war and the bodies of deceased soldiers were exchanged, but no significant progress was made towards a ceasefire.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When Will Putin and Zelenskyy Meet?</h2>



<p>It is noteworthy that the Ukrainian side has proposed to Russia holding a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by the end of August.</p>



<p>The participation of US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would be particularly significant. Regarding this meeting, Medinsky stated that such a meeting cannot be considered until certain procedures are completed.</p>

According to the WHO, if appropriate measures are not taken in time, this virus could become a major pandemic.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the Chikungunya Virus?</h2>



<p>Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease spread by the bites of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> and <em>Aedes albopictus</em> mosquitoes. These mosquitoes are also known to spread dengue and Zika viruses. The main symptoms of this disease include high fever, unbearable joint pain, muscle pain, headache, fatigue, and skin rashes. In some cases, it can also be fatal, especially for people with weakened immunity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where is the Greatest Risk?</h2>



<p>According to the WHO report, cases of chikungunya are increasing rapidly in areas such as Réunion Island, Mayotte, and Mauritius. An estimated one-third of the population in Réunion Island has been affected by this virus. Due to global warming, the tiger mosquito (<em>Aedes albopictus</em>) is now reaching northern regions, causing the virus to spread to new areas.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why is it a Concern?</h2>



<p>WHO experts say that the symptoms of chikungunya are similar to other viruses like dengue and Zika, making diagnosis challenging. Furthermore, in areas with low immunity, this virus can rapidly affect up to three-quarters of the population. Currently, there is no specific vaccine or cure for this virus, making prevention the only recourse.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Situation in India</h2>



<p>Large-scale cases of chikungunya have not yet emerged in India, but the Ministry of Health has instructed states to remain vigilant and increase surveillance. Particular caution has been advised in areas with a high mosquito infestation.</p>

<p>The Donald Trump administration in the United States is planning to replace the existing lottery system for issuing H-1B visas with a new merit-based selection system. Under this proposal by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), applicants for the 85,000 H-1B visa slots will be selected based on their qualifications and salary level. This system will prioritise applicants with higher skills and higher salaries. Since Indians are the largest beneficiaries of H-1B visas, this new system will directly impact Indian professionals.</p>



<p><strong>Difference between H-1B Visa and the Proposed Merit-Based System</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact on Indians</h2>



<p>Indians are the largest beneficiaries of H-1B visas. In the fiscal year ending September 2023, 58% of the 68,825 initial employment visas and 79% of the remaining 210,000 visas (including extensions) were allocated to Indians. Compared to this, China received 16,094 and 29,250 visas, respectively. Thus, the change in the visa system will have a significant impact on Indian professionals. The new system&#8217;s prioritisation of higher-paid and experienced applicants may limit opportunities for freshers and those working for smaller companies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prioritising Skilled Professionals</h2>



<p>The proposed merit-based system aims to prioritise highly skilled and higher-salaried professionals, but this could create challenges for less experienced applicants and smaller companies. Indian professionals, who are the primary beneficiaries of this visa, will need to prepare for this change.</p>

NCR:10 High-Rise Societies Face Demolition


<p>Bulldozer Action: The central government has accelerated its zero-tolerance policy against illegal constructions in the National Capital Region (NCR). As a result, preparations are underway for bulldozer action against approximately 10 societies built illegally. If bulldozers are deployed against these societies, thousands of people could become homeless. These societies are located in four sectors developed by the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) in Faridabad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fear of Thousands of Families Becoming Homeless in Faridabad</h2>



<p>The Forest Department in Faridabad district, Haryana, bordering Delhi, is once again preparing to demolish illegal constructions in the Aravalli region. </p>



<p>This time, the plan is to demolish illegally constructed buildings in four major sectors—21C, 44, 45, and 46—under the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). </p>



<p>This entire area falls under the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA), and the action is being taken in compliance with Supreme Court orders. These four sectors house thousands of families in more than 10 multi-storeyed societies. This action increases the likelihood of them becoming homeless.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notices to be Issued Soon Against Illegal Constructions</h2>



<p>According to Forest Department officials, illegal constructions have been carried out in Faridabad sectors 21C, 44, 45, and 46, falling under the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA). All these sectors were developed by the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran. Forest Department officials have indicated that notices will soon be issued to the owners of the identified constructions, instructing them to vacate their properties. In the first phase of a similar action, over 240 constructions were demolished.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Large Housing Societies Also Targeted</h2>



<p>In the second phase of the Forest Department&#8217;s action, constructions in sectors 21C, 44, 45, and 46 are being identified. These areas have eight to ten multi-storeyed residential societies housing thousands of people. Action against these could affect a large number of people. Forest Department sources say that these four sectors contain several large residential societies developed by the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran. </p>



<p>Additionally, the Surajkund Mela complex, Surajkund Delhi Road, the Gymkhana Club, religious sites, and several educational institutions in this area also fall under the PLPA. The department is identifying all these locations and preparing a list.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative Land Requested from HSVP</h2>



<p>Meanwhile, efforts are underway to save the homes of the people living in these societies. To this end, the Forest Department has requested alternative land from the HSVP (Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran) to accommodate these constructions. If the HSVP provides alternative land as requested, the demolition action may be postponed. Officials have indicated a willingness to grant exemptions in residential areas if land is provided; otherwise, bulldozers will be deployed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Action Based on Supreme Court Orders</h2>



<p>It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court, taking a strict stance against encroachments and illegal constructions in the Aravalli region, has directed all concerned agencies to take action. The first phase of the action was carried out in compliance with this order, and preparations are now underway for a major step in the second phase. Previously, large-scale illegal constructions in the Aravalli region have been demolished.</p>

<p>Tensions between India and Pakistan have significantly escalated since the Pahalgam terrorist attack and ‘Operation Sindoor’, and the situation remains volatile. While both countries are adhering to the ceasefire, a tense atmosphere persists. Meanwhile, India has made a significant decision. India is set to conduct a three-day air force exercise (23-25 July), with the Indian Air Force (IAF) fully prepared.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where will the Indian Air Force exercise take place?</h2>



<p>From 23-25 July, the Indian Air Force will conduct air exercises in areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat bordering Pakistan. This includes areas such as Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Kutch.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan&#8217;s heightened tension</h2>



<p>India&#8217;s air strikes in ‘Operation Sindoor’ inflicted significant damage on Pakistan. The strikes destroyed 9 terrorist bases, killed hundreds of terrorists, damaged several Pakistani military installations, and resulted in the deaths of some soldiers. Furthermore, the Pakistani Air Force and air defence systems were unable to counter India&#8217;s air force and air strikes. Consequently, the air exercise near the border has increased Pakistan&#8217;s tension.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan Air Force on high alert</h2>



<p>News of the Indian air exercise has caused consternation in Pakistan. Fearing an escalation, the Pakistan Air Force has been put on high alert. A formal notice has been issued to the Pakistani Air Force.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India&#8217;s first air exercise following the success of ‘Operation Sindoor’</h2>



<p>India&#8217;s ‘Operation Sindoor’ was a complete success, achieving its objectives within Pakistan. The air exercise from 23-25 July will be India&#8217;s first since ‘Operation Sindoor’.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Which fighter jets will participate in the air exercise?</h2>



<p>During the three-day air exercise, the Indian Air Force may utilise Rafale, Sukhoi-30, Tejas, MiG-29, Jaguar, and Mirage-2000 fighter jets. Testing of Apache helicopters, the S-400 air defence system, and other air weaponry may also occur.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the objective?</h2>



<p>The objective of India&#8217;s three-day air exercise is to ensure the Indian Air Force&#8217;s readiness for emergencies, maintain a 24/7 operational capability to counter any conflict scenario, and strengthen border security.</p>


Patrika Special

<p>India is poised to undertake a three-day military exercise starting tomorrow, a move that has reportedly heightened tensions in Pakistan. Pakistan&#8217;s Air Force is said to be on high alert in response to India&#8217;s decision.</p>

India's Three-Day Air Force Exercise Raises Pakistan Tensions


<p>Airlines are capitalising on the Raksha Bandhan festival, causing a surge in airfares around Raksha Bandhan 2025. Despite the increased cost of flights from Gwalior to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, bookings remain strong. Fares have increased two to threefold during the festive season. These high fares are expected to persist for two days after Raksha Bandhan.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flight Fares Expected to Remain High from 15-17 August</h2>



<p>With the 15th of August (Independence Day) falling just six days after the festival, and coinciding with Janmashtami on the 16th and a Sunday on the 17th, these three days are also expected to see elevated flight prices.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ahmedabad Air Service Suspended</strong></h2>



<p>The once-a-week flight to Ahmedabad has been suspended since last month, leaving travellers reliant on trains. This follows the earlier suspension of flights to Hyderabad and Kolkata.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Trains Overbooked</strong></h2>



<p>The situation is equally challenging for rail travel during Raksha Bandhan. Tickets for long-distance trains to Mumbai, Bangalore, and other destinations are unavailable, forcing many passengers to consider flights as an alternative.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fare Comparison: Then and Now</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>City – Previous Fare – Current Fare</strong></h2>



<p>New Delhi – ₹3071 – ₹10303</p>



<p>Mumbai – ₹4354 – ₹9179</p>



<p>Bangalore – ₹5271 – ₹9226</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Over 24,000 Passengers Monthly</strong></h2>



<p>Gwalior sees over 24,000 passengers travelling to and from other cities each month, with Mumbai and Delhi accounting for the largest share. However, in June, Bangalore saw the second-highest number of passengers after Mumbai.</p>
