After pulling out of the Indian Navy’s tender for the construction of six advanced submarines under Project-75I, Russia on Monday said that it cannot meet the 'unrealistic' terms and conditions for the over ₹40,000 crore project.

Terms of Indian Navy’s mega submarine deal unrealistic: Russian official

Mega submarine deal: Russian official says project design is good but implementation in India problematic

Mega submarine deal: Russian official says project design is good but implementation in India problematic

After pulling out of the Indian Navy&rsquo;s tender for the construction of six advanced submarines under Project-75I, Russia on Monday said that it cannot meet the 'unrealistic' terms and conditions for the over ₹40,000 crore project.&nbsp;
A senior Russian official said that without any changes in the entire process, the deal cannot move forward, reported The Hindu.
Speaking at the inaugural day of the Army-2022 expo, Andrey Baranov, Deputy Director General, Rubin Design Bureau said, &ldquo;The requirement stated in the Request For Proposal (RFP) demanded very strict timelines and a lot of responsibility to the designer. At the same time, designer has no control over the construction, which happens in India." &ldquo;We are the first ones to leave the project and the last one we know to leave the project is France,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;
Baranov raised concerns over the implementation of the project in India. He said that the design of the project is 'very good' but the implementation "is not so good" as the requirements specified by the Indian Navy and the arrangement for this are not matching. He also noted that the key part of the RFP is that construction will be done in India and if the timelines are not met, the &ldquo;penalties are very high&rdquo;.
In July, the ministry of defence had once again extended the deadline to submit responses from June 30 to December 2022, reported The Hindu. The Indian Navy had also reportedly sought relaxation in certain specifications laid down by the government stating that they have made most submarine manufacturers non-compliant.

Project-75(I) requires indigenous construction of six modern conventional submarines with contemporary equipment, weapons and sensors, including Fuel-Cell based Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system, advanced torpedoes, modern missiles, and state-of-the-art countermeasure systems.&nbsp;
The Navy currently has 15 conventional and one nuclear submarine in service.&nbsp;

Bihar cabinet expansion: 31 ministers inducted, RJD gets lion's share

The RJD has given seven berths to Yadavs, including Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of party president Lalu Prasad. It also gave representation to the upper castes in keeping with the wider social outreach.

The newly formed cabinet in Bihar expanded on Tuesday when 31 ministers took oath, with the RJD getting a lion&rsquo;s share, and care having been taken to represent all sections of the society, including the minorities.
Among the ministers who took oath, 16 were from RJD, 11 from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar&rsquo;s JD(U), two from Congress, one from ex-CM Jitan Ram Manjhi&rsquo;s Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) and one Independent.
The number of Muslims in the new cabinet is five, up from only one in the previous NDA government that fell last week after the chief minister severed ties with the BJP.
The RJD has, predictably, given a significant number of seven berths to Yadavs, including Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of party president Lalu Prasad.
It, however, also gave representation to the upper castes in keeping with the wider social outreach by deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav.

Among those from the RJD quota were Kartikeya Singh, a Bhumihar MLC, and Sudhakar Singh, a Rajput, whose father Jagadanand Singh is currently the state president.
The JD(U) has retained its ministers from the previous dispensation.
The Congress is represented by a Dalit and a Muslim.&nbsp;

A high-tech Chinese research ship docked at Sri Lanka's southern port of Hambantota on Tuesday, days after Colombo asked Beijing to defer the port call amidst India's concern over the vessel's presence in its neighbourhood.
Chinese ballistic missile and satellite tracking ship 'Yuan Wang 5' arrived in the southern port of Hambantota at 8.20 am local time. It will be docked there till August 22, officials said.
The ship was originally scheduled to arrive at the port on August 11 but it was delayed in absence of permission by the Sri Lankan authorities.
Sri Lanka had asked China to defer the visit amid India's concerns over it. On Saturday, Colombo granted the port access to the vessel from August 16 to 22.
Sri Lanka said the security clearance was granted from the Ministry of Defence for the visit of the vessel for replenishment purposes during the stipulated period.
It said no rotation of personnel would take place during the call and the Sri Lankan government was requested to provide the necessary assistance by the Chinese Embassy in Colombo.
The security and cooperation in the neighborhood are of utmost priority in handling the issue of the Chinese vessel Wang Yang 5, the Foreign Ministry here said in a statement.
The local telecommunications regulatory authority had issued a No Objection Letter for the use of frequencies and communication equipment subject to non-interference and non-protection basis.
There were apprehensions in New Delhi about the possibility of the vessel's tracking systems attempting to snoop on Indian defence installations while being on its way to the Sri Lankan port.
The Sri Lankan government has since engaged in extensive consultations at a high-level through diplomatic channels with all parties concerned, with a view to resolving the matter in a spirit of friendship, mutual trust and constructive dialogue, the Foreign Ministry statement said last week on giving the final clearance.
The government took into account the interests of all parties concerned, and in line with the principle of sovereign equality of states, according to the statement.
In light of concerns raised, the ministry also sought further information and material that could assist in consultations on the matter, the statement said.

One of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case - Pawan Kumar Gupta has moved a curative plea in the Supreme Court seeking commutation of his death penalty to life imprisonment.

The incident comes on a day when a Kashmir Pandit was shot dead by militants and his brother injured at an apple orchard in the Shopian district

Having been instrumental in rehabilitation of the community after the mass exodus of 1990. Srinagar-based Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti has urged people of the community to move to safer places 
The call for exodus by KPSS comes after a Kashmiri Pandit was shot dead by militants in the valley on Tuesday while his brother was admitted to a hospital in critical condition. 
Just a couple of days ago, a migrant was killed in Bandipora district of South Kashmir. 
In the past 8 months this year, over 25 non-muslim locals and migrants have been gunned down in South Kashmir.
In wake of the attacks, Kashmiri Pandits in different parts of the valley continue to stage protests against targeted killings. 
The protest began on May 13,2022 after Rahul Bhat, a government employee was slained by terrorists. However, despite the ongoing protests and demands for relocation, there seem to be no end to the the brutal killings of Hindus in South Kashmir. 
"With another deadly attack on Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir, the terrorists have made it clear that they are going to kill all the Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir valley," KPSS chief Sanjay Tickoo said in a statement released post Tuesday’s attack. 
Furthermore, according to Tickoo, Tuesday's  victim had approached senior officials to move them to safer places in view of the intelligence inputs. 
"It is ironic that the officials told them that they have to live in their villages. What is the deal here? They have inputs about possible attacks and yet they do not secure us," he said.
Tickoo wondered about the intent of the militants in targeting the Kashmiri Pandits.
"Why did they not strike during the Independence Day parade? Why was there no attack on Amarnath yatra? How come tourists are safe in Kashmir but Kashmiri Pandits are being targeted?" he asked.
Asked about the impact of his call for the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits, Tickoo said he was ready to face it.
"The government can book me under the Public Safety Act (PSA)," he added.

The Delhi Police has registered an FIR against social media influencer Bobby Kataria after a video of him lighting a cigarette inside a SpiceJet flight surfaced, officials said on Tuesday.
Kataria was booked for alleged violation of security and safety measures based on a complaint filed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport Police Station on August 13 by Jasbir Singh, Manager Legal and Company Affairs of SpiceJet, they said.
In his complaint, Singh alleged that Balwant Kataria, alias Bobby Kataria, had uploaded pictures and videos on his social media accounts wherein he was seen with a lighter and smoking a cigarette onboard SpiceJet flight SG 706 from Dubai to Delhi in January 2022, a senior police officer said.
Kataria, a bodybuilder, has 6.3 lakh followers on Instagram.
"On the basis of the complaint, a case was registered on Monday under section 3(1)(C) of the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against Safety of Civil Aviation Act 1982 at IGI Airport and investigation of the case is in progress," the officer said.
Last week, Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia had ordered a probe after the video surfaced on social media.
The airline's spokesperson earlier said, "The video...was shot on January 20, 2022 while passengers were boarding flight SG 706 scheduled to operate from Dubai to Delhi. The said passenger and his co-passengers shot the video on the 21st row when the cabin crew were occupied with completing the on-boarding procedure. None of the passengers or crew was aware of the act. The matter came to the airline's notice on January 24, 2022 through social media posts."
"The matter was investigated thoroughly in January 2022 as soon as the video was brought to our notice and a complaint had been filed by the airline at the Udyog Vihar police station in Gurugram as we have our headquarters in Gurugram. Upon seeking a response from the police authorities in Gurgaon, we were advised on August 12, 2022 that the matter does not fall in their jurisdiction and accordingly a complaint was lodged with the Delhi Police," he said.
"The matter was also referred to an independent Committee constituted as per the provisions of Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) on handling of unruly passengers (not consisting of any SpiceJet employee) and a decision of the committee is pending," he added.
Passengers are not allowed to carry lighter and smoke inside planes.
