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...

Italian town near Rome is now selling houses at Rs.87 (€1) to 'repopulate the region'


You can own a house in Italy for 1 euro or less, we are not even joking. Anyone can own a house in the picturesque villages in the Italian countryside for less than Rs 100 as part of a unique scheme. 

                                           The town of Maenza has now become the first in Rome's Latium region to sell houses at a cheap rate. It was also mentioned that in the coming future, a number of abandoned or empty houses & lands in the region will be put up for sale. Though applications for the sale of the first few houses in Maenza will close on August 28, more houses in the region will be made available to the buyers soon. 

Mayor Claudio Sperduti says he's launching an ambitious "pact for the rebirth" of his hometown with the aim of breathing new life into its quiet alleys by repopulating it. The goal, he says, is to recover all disused crumbling properties by liaising between old owners and potential buyers lured by knockdown prices.

We're taking it one step at a time. As original families get in touch and hand over to us their old houses, we place these on the market through specific public notices on our website to make it all very transparent," Mayor Claudio Sperduti said. Those who are approved to buy one of the properties in Maenza will have to commit to renovating it within three years. Buyers undeterred by the condition must submit an application with a plan for the property and what it'll become. A deposit guarantee of €5,000 (about $5,840) will also have to be submitted. That money will all be returned after the work is complete. 

The town's administration wants to "combat the abandonment of the ancient medieval village of the city centre", which is located about 60-70 km southeast of Rome, according to a translation of the details on the scheme's website, provided by The Independent.

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 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 ...
