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...

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 of Sri Lanka, away from Indian maritime border. The northern coastline which has a significant Tamil speaking population was relatively free from Chinese investments.

Sri Lanka in February this year awarded a $12 million hybrid solar and wind energy project to a Chinese firm. This project will come up in three islets off the Jaffna Peninsula, just 50Km from Tamil Nadu.

China is also building the Colombo port city by reclaiming about 269 hectares of land from the ocean, by far the biggest foreign investment for Sri Lanka costing about $1.2 bn. 

The port city will be governed by a 7-member commission, whose members can be of foreign origin. The commission has been given overreaching and extraordinary powers of bypassing the local laws to act in an independent manner and allow foreign investors to have an unbridled control over local resources. 

Though India too has supported Sri Lanka with financial assistances it cannot match the might of China which is the largest creditor in the world. This financial crisis can be further used by China to debt trap Sri Lanka and alienate India.

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, ...
