    IPS officer Ravi Sinha appointed RAW chief

    By PTI
    NEW DELHI: Senior IPS officer Ravi Sinha was on Monday appointed as the chief of the country’s external spy agency RAW, succeeding Samant Kumar Goel who will complete his four-year tenure on June 30, an official order said.

    Sinha, a 1988 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Chhattisgarh cadre, is currently Special Secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat.

    The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved Sinha’s appointment as Secretary, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) for a tenure of two years, the order issued by the Ministry of Personnel said.

    Sinha has been with the prestigious intelligence agency for over two decades.

    He was heading the operational wing of RAW before his promotion.

    Considered a neighbourhood specialist, the officer has worked extensively in Jammu and Kashmir, the northeast and other countries.

    He takes over at a time when Sikh extremism is being propagated in some countries.

    Sinha’s predecessor Goel was appointed RAW chief for two years in June 2019.

    He was later given two extensions of one year each in 2021 and June 2022.

    Goel, an expert on matters related to Jammu and Kashmir, is believed to have played a key role in planning the February 2019 surgical strike in Pakistan’s Balakot.

    The surgical strike was carried out to avenge the Pulwama terror attack, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed by a suicide bomber of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).

    In response to the attack, the Indian Air Force struck a JeM terrorist training camp in Balakot on February 26, 2019.

  • 7 laborers died after being hit by goods train

    7 laborers died after being hit by goods train

    New Delhi. At least 7 laborers were killed and 1 other seriously injured when a goods train ran over them at Odisha’s Jajpur Keonjhar Road railway station on Wednesday. When the goods train started rolling, the workers took shelter under the goods train to avoid heavy rain.

    In a statement, the East Coast Railway said, “Contract workers employed by a contractor for railway work took shelter under a goods train near Jajpur Keonjhar Road (station) to seek protection from a sudden thunderstorm.” The reserve rake without engine started rolling due to the wind which led to the accident. The injured have been admitted to the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack. The incident comes five days after the tragic triple train accident in Odisha’s Balasore district in which 288 people were killed and over 1,000 others were injured.

    Braving the scorching heat, people armed with their mobile cameras reached the accident site to see the mangled remains of the trains involved in the accident. Though the railway authorities cordoned off the area with green cloth, coaches strewn on the sides of the tracks can now be easily seen. The Coromandel Express was diverted on the loop line before hitting a stationary goods train on Friday night.

    The collision caused the coaches of the Coromandel Express to overturn onto another track. The derailed coaches collided with the rear coaches of another train, the Bengaluru to Howrah Superfast Express, which was traveling in the opposite direction. While trains resumed operations late on Sunday night from the accident site, Wednesday’s journey is the first service of the Coromandel Express to resume the route.
