A day after a foreign militant was gunned down by security forces in the summer capital Srinagar, at least a dozen civilians were injured in a grenade blast on Sunday (November 2) near the busy Tourism Reception Centre (TRC).

The attack in Srinagar is the sixth of its kind wherein civilians seemed to be the intended targets after the elected government of the Union territory was recently sworn into office. Chief minister Omar Abdullah urged the "security apparatus" of Jammu and Kashmir, which is under the Union home ministry, to put an end to these attacks.

Unknown persons hurled grenade on innocent shoppers

"The last few days have been dominated by headlines of attacks & encounters in parts of the valley. Today's news of a grenade attack on innocent shoppers at the 'Sunday market' in Srinagar is deeply disturbing. There can be no justification for targeting innocent civilians. The security apparatus must do everything possible to end this spurt of attacks at the earliest so that people can go about their lives without any fear," Abdullah posted on X, formerly Twitter.

According to reports, unknown persons hurled a grenade outside a playground near TRC Srinagar at around 2:15 pm when the area, which falls around one kilometre from the clock tower in the city centre Lal Chowk, was thronged by hundreds of shoppers and sightseers.

On Sunday, Lal Chowk and its arterial roads host the weekly flea market which is visited both by tourists as well as locals who often come along with their families from all parts of Kashmir.

To build the 118.9-km network with three corridors in phase II, thousands of workers from States including Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh have been at work in the city for the last couple of years. The Chennai Metro Rail continues to grapple with nearly 40% shortage of workers at the construction sites of its ongoing ₹63,246-crore phase II project.

To build the 118.9-km network with three corridors — Madhavaram to SIPCOT (corridor 3), Light House to Poonamallee (corridor 4), and Madhavaram to Sholinganallur (corridor 5) — thousands of workers from States including Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh have been at work in the city for the last couple of years.

According to officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), the problem of worker shortage began in April this year when many of them left for their hometowns to cast their votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. “We expected them to return by the end of May or early in June. But many of them still have not returned to the project sites. We have pushed the contractors as much as possible to find new workers and bring them to the city, but they have managed to do it only to some extent,” an official said.

Initially, one contractor brought some of the workers by flight and the others got them to the city by train. “But it is still not sufficient. There is a shortage of about 40% workers,” the official said.

Officials said that the number of workers was grossly inadequate along the elevated stretch in a portion of corridor 5. “For now, our priority is opening Poonamallee-Porur (part of corridor 4) next year and hence, we have mobilised maximum workers for this stretch. There are no issues along this stretch,” another official said.

But sources said the number of workers was far from adequate on this stretch as well, and it would be very challenging to finish the work by the end of next year. The elevated corridors need more workers than the underground network, they added.

“The workers who used to work here are now able to find jobs in the Metro Rail and other infrastructure projects in the northern and central parts of the country, and they find it convenient to travel between work and home,” one of the officials said.

To the extent that I created a sub called r/airindiasucks

Me ans My 72 year old mum checked in from Bhopal to Toronto via Delhi. The check-in staff gave her a boarding pass, and she boarded the flight at 8 am from Bhopal to Delhi.

At Delhi, the transfer desk said, " There is some issue with her new passport, and she has to go 2nd floor on supervisor desk." Now she had wheel chair assistance from here on so the staff took her there.

The lady at the D 2 ( second floor D row) said, " She is okay to board, she has boarding pass, seat assignment ", to which the wheel chair staff said " then why did u guys made me come the long way? "

The lady at the supervisor desk said, " Folks at the transfer desk are known to be difficult, have a safe flight."

I asked her specifically if everything was okay, and she said, "Don't worry."

She cleared immigration and waited for 5 hours before the boarding began. She was denied boarding!!!!

The gate staff said, " Your old visa on your old passport is not linked to your new passport, and the Canadian embassy server is down, so we can't call anyone to link it. Also, considering the plane leaves in 30 min, we don't have time to try anything. "

I said to them she flies there often. She has her old passport that has the visa. You can see it's a valid visa. You can see the stamps on her passport that she had traveled before.

They said we understand what you are saying, but the computer said she can't board, so we can't let her.

She has to go back unclear immigration, take her luggage, go back to the reservation desk, and re book your flight.

It will take 4 hours to do so, then restart.

I asked them to send a staff member guiding me to which they said some other person from some other gate will assist and this is end of our shift.

The other person at the other gate helped us go through the process and dropped us at the reservationslast desk.

The reservation desk said the Canadian immigration system is down, and we can't link, so let's wait until the server is up. Why don't you go and find Air India ticket counter and ask them if there are seats available and whether u can be booked on a different flight.

I went to ticking counter and asked them, and they said that I would have to rebook and it's going to be a fresh ticket and that you owe us full price.

I lost it. I screamed as much as I could and the ticker counter said that there is nothing they can do...I should talk to someone else, then I went and spoke that other person who sent me back to tick counter.

Keep in mind that I had to drag my mother and my bags with me because I don't have a new ticket and my old ticket is void, so no wheeler assistance provided.

After coming to the ticket counter and screaming session, they asked me to wait. While we are waiting we could not leave the airport because we don't have a ticket to come back.

While we were going through all this, none of the airline staff offered us water, any compassion, or any polite words.

We did everything right, followed instructions, followed rules, why a passenger has to pay more for this?

After relentless argument, Air india decided to book us free of charge, and with luck, canada immigration website was online as well.

Once we landed in Canada, I asked immigration system, and they said there would be absolutely no issue if u had boarded your original flight.

The airline did nothing to make our experience any better. They argued with us to make it worse with no apologies, food, or water.

The ground staff at Delhi Airport for Air India is filled with non empathetic humans who treat passengers like animals.

Never again air india!!

As its ties with Canada continued to remain at an all-time low, India on Saturday said some of its consular officials were informed by the Canadian government that they have been under audio and video surveillance, and termed the action a "flagrant violation" of diplomatic conventions.
