British-Era secret tunnel found inside Delhi Legislative Assembly, connects to Red Fort

  A tunnel-like structure was discovered at the Delhi Legislative Assembly on Thursday. Speaking to ANI, Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said that the tunnel connects the legislative assembly to Red Fort and was used by the Britishers to avoid reprisal while moving freedom fighters.  Goel further informed that the Delhi Legislative Assembly, which was used as Central Legislative Assembly after shifting of capital from Kolkata to Delhi in 1912, was turned into a court in 1926 and Britishers used this tunnel to bring freedom fighters to the court.  "When I became an MLA in 1993, there was hearsay about a tunnel present here that goes till Red Fort and I tried to search for its history. But there was no clarity over it," he stated.  "Now we have got the mouth of the tunnel but we are not digging it further as all the paths of the tunnel have been destroyed due to metro projects and sewer installations," he added.  The assembly speaker added that i...

Indian scientists discover three rare super massive blackholes merging together in nearby universe

  Black holes are mysterious. No one perfectly knows what is their true nature. No one knows what lies on the other side. Are they pathways to different universe or do they facilitate time-travel? Nobody knows. Venture too close to a black hole and you will be sucked in forever. They have such unimaginable pull that even light does not escape. 

Then there are supermassive black holes that are millions of times bigger. They literally hold entire galaxies together and are usually located at the centre of a galaxy. Just like Milky Way. 

Indian researchers have now witnessed a merger of three supermassive black holes. This merger has caused formation of triple active galactic nucleus. 

Ministry of Science and Technology made an announcement about this. 

"..A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics consisting of Jyoti Yadav, Mousumi Das, and Sudhanshu Barway along with Francoise Combes of College de France, Chaire Galaxies et Cosmologie, Paris, while studying a known interacting galaxy pair, NGC7733, and NGC7734, detected unusual emissions from the centre of NGC7734 and a large, bright clump along the northern arm of NGC7733. Their investigations showed that the clump is moving with a different velocity compared to the galaxy NGC7733 itself. The scientists meant that this clump was not a part of NGC7733; rather, it was a small separate galaxy behind the arm. They named this galaxy NGC7733N..." says a press release from the ministry. 

This study has been published as a letter in journal Astronomy and Astrphysics. This study was conducted using the data from the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard the first Indian space observatory ASTROSAT, the European integral field optical telescope called MUSE mounted on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile and infrared images from the optical telescope (IRSF) in South Africa.

Full of Afghan Evacuees, Aircraft hijacked by armed men in Kabul: Flown to Iran instead of Ukraine

A Ukrainian plane that arrived in Afghanistan to evacuate Ukrainians was reportedly hijacked on Tuesday by unidentified people who flew it into Iran, Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Yevgeny Yenin said.                    "Last Sunday, our plane was hijacked by other people. On Tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us, it flew into Iran with an unidentified group of passengers onboard instead of airlifting Ukrainians. Our next three evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport," the minister was quoted as saying by TASS. According to the TASS report, the deputy minister did not state what happened to the plane or whether Kiev would seek to get the plane back. Yenin only underlined that the whole diplomatic service headed by Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba "had been working in the crash test mode" the whole week.  On Sunday, a military transport plane with 83 people onboard, ...

China continues 'MISSION TO SURROUND INDIA FROM ALL SIDES' at an alarming rate, tensions rise for Indian government

  China has been trying to systematically flex its muscle in the Indian Ocean region to encircle India, as India has an advantage over China in the maritime domain. China has already forged maritime ties with Pakistan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.  The Communist Party of China is not only focusing on growing its maritime ties but also its military bases in these country where it starts with lending loans and slowly iin return of favour and development, it demands to build an overseas military base on their land.  The latest evident target is Sri Lanka as the country has already declared emergency on food & struggles with its economy.  By gaining foothold in Sri Lanka, China can directly challenge the Indian Navy's superiority in the Indian Ocean region and gain control of critical maritime seaway through which China's most crude oil passes.  Chinese investments and presence till now were confined mostly in the southern coastline ...
