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.

China bans video games for under 18 kids to only 3 hours per week

 Kids and teens under 18 years old in China will only be allowed up to three hours per week to play online video games, according to new rules published Monday by China’s National Press and Publication Administration.



The move is a fresh blow to the country’s gaming giants from Tencent to NetEase, which have dealt with an onslaught of regulation this year in areas from anti-monopoly to data protection. That has spooked investors and dented the value of Chinese tech stocks.

According to a translated notice about the new rules, people under 18 will be allowed to play video games one hour a day between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on weekends and legal holidays. The agency billed the rules as a way to safeguard children’s physical and mental health.

Following this news of the neighboring country, netizens on Twitter too demanded that such a decision should be taken in India as it will curb the screen usage of kids.

However, psychiatrists from around the country said it will have a drastic negative effect on mental health if such big steps and forced steps are taken by the government, not to forget the backlash.

The rules will apply to companies providing online game services to minors, limiting their ability to serve those users outside of designated hours. The companies also will not be allowed to provide services to users who haven’t logged in with real-name registration, preventing them from simply remaining ignorant to their users’ backgrounds.

In what comes as a major setback for the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, the Calcutta high court on Thursday ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the allegations of post-poll violence in the state. A seven-member committee set up by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had earlier looked into the incidents of violence following the West Bengal assembly elections and recommended a court-monitored CBI probe. CBI will probe the allegations of murder and rape, raised shortly after the overwhelming victory of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) against rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in these elections. According to people familiar with the development, t he Calcutta high court also directed that a separate Special Investigation Team (SIT), with senior officers from the West Bengal cadre, be set up to probe the other allegations cited by the NHRC committee.

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 ...
