Did You Receive 'Extremely Severe Alert' From Govt On Your Phone? Here's What It Means

Several mobile phone users across India received an “extremely severe alert” message accompanied by loud beeps and vibrations on Saturday. However, there is no cause for alarm or panic, as it was part of a test of government's new emergency alert system that sends warnings directly to all mobile phones across the country. Authorities clarified in the text that the alert was only a test and urged the public not to panic or take any action upon receiving the message. "India launches Cell Broadcast using indigenous technology for instant disaster alerting service for its citizens. Alert citizens, safe nation. No action is required by the public upon receipt of tis message. This is a test message: Government of India," the alert text read.  All You Need To Know About The New Emergency System The initiative was carried out by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Government of India, to strengthen mobile-based disaster communication systems nationwide to ensure the timely delivery of critical information to citizens.  As part of the rollout, test messages are being sent to mobile users across the country in English, Hindi and regional languages. Officials noted that users may receive multiple alerts during this phase, depending on network testing requirements. ALSO READ: AAP Rebel Sandeep Pathak Faces Arrest After Two FIRs In Punjab, Leaves Delhi Residence Integrated Alert System Already In Use NDMA has already operationalised the Integrated Alert System, known as SACHET, developed by the Centre for Development of Telematics. The system is based on the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), recommended by the International Telecommunication Union, and is currently functional across all 36 states and Union Territories. SACHET enables geo-targeted SMS alerts to mobile users and has been widely used during natural disasters and extreme weather events. Authorities said more than 134 billion SMS alerts have been disseminated so far in over 19 Indian languages. Introduction Of Cell Broadcast Technology To further strengthen emergency communication, especially in time-sensitive situations such as earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, and industrial hazards, Cell Broadcast (CB) technology has been introduced alongside SMS.Unlike traditional messaging, CB alerts are transmitted simultaneously to all mobile devices within a defined geographic area, ensuring near real-time delivery without network congestion. C-DOT has been entrusted with the indigenous development and implementation of this system. ALSO READ: Air India Slashes International Flights Till July Amid Fuel Spike, Airspace Curbs Full-Scale Implementation Soon Officials stated that during the testing phase, CB messages may only be received on devices with test alert channels enabled. Users can manage these settings through their phone’s emergency alert options through the following menu path on their mobile devices: Settings → Safety and emergency →Wireless emergency alerts →Test alerts) Authorities reiterated that these alerts are part of system validation and do not require any response from the public.Once fully operational, the Cell Broadcast system will enable authorities to send alerts in multiple Indian languages to all mobile handsets, regardless of user settings. This is expected to significantly improve the reach and effectiveness of public safety communications. The Department of Telecommunications had requested public cooperation during the testing phase, reiterating that all such alerts are part of system trials and do not require any response from recipients.

Air India Slashes International Flights Till July Amid Fuel Spike, Airspace Curbs

Air India Overseas Flight Cuts: Air India, loss-making carrier, is scaling back its international operations through July, as rising jet fuel prices and restricted airspace render several routes financially unviable. The decision was confirmed by CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson in an internal message to employees on Friday. “We have reduced some flying for April and May… the steep rise in jet fuel costs, together with airspace closures and longer flight paths, has made many of our international services unprofitable,” Wilson explained, as per reports. The airline, which has been grappling with mounting losses, now plans to extend these cuts into June and July, reflecting the ongoing strain on global aviation. West Asia Conflict Forces Costly Reroutes The crisis in West Asia has significantly disrupted international air travel. With key air corridors restricted, airlines are being forced to take longer routes to avoid conflict zones. This has increased fuel burn and operational costs, especially for long-haul flights. Wilson described the current environment as “extremely challenging,” noting that the airline had limited options but to reduce capacity. He also expressed hope for a return to normalcy, saying that they regretted the disruption to their customers’ travel plans and their crew’s rosters, and hoped the Middle East situation would stabilize and the Strait of Hormuz would reopen soon so that they could return to normal operations. ALSO READ: West Bengal Election: TMC Moves SC Against EC Order On Vote Counting Staff After HC Setback Mounting Losses Add To Pressure Financially, the situation remains severe. Air India Group is estimated to have incurred losses exceeding Rs 22,000 crore for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The spike in fuel prices has played a major role in worsening the airline’s balance sheet. Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicates that jet fuel costs have surged by over 40% compared to last year. For Air India, which relies heavily on long-haul routes passing through West Asia, the dual challenge of higher fuel prices and longer flying distances has made several services unsustainable.

Flights to key destinations across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe may see cancellations, schedule changes, or extended travel durations. With fewer flights operating and rerouting becoming the norm, travellers are being urged to stay updated on flight statuses and plan journeys with additional buffer time. The disruptions could persist until geopolitical tensions ease and critical transit routes reopen.

Can People With Diabetes Eat Mangoes? Here’s What You Should Know About This Fruit

Can People With Diabetes Eat Mangoes? Here’s What You Should Know About This Fruit

Juicy, fragrant, and bursting with sweetness, Mango is often called the 'king of fruits' for a reason. A staple of summer, this vibrant fruit is loved for its rich flavour and bright yellow flesh. Whether enjoyed fresh, in smoothies, or as part of desserts, mango holds a special place in many diets. However, its natural sweetness often raises a common question, can people with diabetes safely eat mangoes? While mango is undeniably delicious, it also contains natural sugars, which makes its role in a diabetes-friendly diet worth understanding. The good news is that with mindful choices and portion control, mango can still find a place on your plate. ALSO READ: Touching Face, Eating Junk: 7 Everyday Habits That Silently Harm Your Skin Health Nutritional Value Of Mango Mangoes are packed with essential nutrients that support overall health. A single cup of sliced mango contains around 100 calories, along with small amounts of protein and fat. It provides approximately 25 grams of carbohydrates, including 23 grams of natural sugars, and around 3 grams of fibre. This fruit is also rich in vitamins and minerals. It offers a significant boost of vitamin C, along with copper, folate, and vitamins A and E. Additionally, mango contains smaller amounts of magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc, making it a nutrient-dense option. Does Mango Raise Blood Sugar Levels? Since most of the calories in mango come from carbohydrates, it can contribute to a rise in blood sugar levels. However, the presence of fibre and antioxidants helps moderate this effect. Fibre slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, while antioxidants may help reduce the body’s stress response linked to rising blood sugar. As a result, any increase in blood sugar is usually gradual rather than sudden, making mango a more manageable option compared to high-sugar processed foods. ALSO READ: Feet Swelling In Summer? Know Causes, Signs And Easy Ways To Prevent It Glycemic Index Of Mango The Glycemic Index (GI) is a useful way to understand how foods affect blood sugar. Mango has a GI of 51, which places it in the low GI category (foods under 55). This means it has a relatively moderate impact on blood sugar levels. That said, individual responses can vary. What works well for one person may not have the same effect for another, so it’s important to monitor how your body reacts. How To Eat Mango Safely With Diabetes Portion Control Matters The simplest way to enjoy mango without significantly affecting blood sugar is to watch your portion size. About half a cup of sliced mango contains lesser carbohydrates. Starting with this amount can help you gauge your body’s response. Pair It With Protein Combining mango with a source of protein can help stabilise blood sugar levels. Protein slows digestion and reduces the chances of a spike. Pairing mango with foods like boiled eggs or a handful of nuts can create a more balanced snack.

Proxy advisory firm asks RBI to reject Tata Sons’ application

A research firm urged the RBI to reject Tata Sons' bid to surrender its financial license, calling it a tactic to avoid mandatory listing. The firm argued the application is invalid due to past RBI directives and an expired listing deadline. Without a listing, Tata Sons would escape SEBI's oversight, leaving crucial group transactions and capital allocation opaque to investors.

Pentagon Signs AI Deals With Tech Giants, Anthropic Left Out

Pentagon Signs AI Deals With Tech Giants, Anthropic Left Out

The US Department of Defense on Friday signed agreements with seven artificial intelligence (AI) giants to deploy their powerful AI systems on its secure classified networks. The deals notably left out Anthropic, the firm behind the popular AI assistant Claude, due to a dispute over safety restrictions on military use. What do we know about the Pentagon deals? The agreements include well-known firms such as OpenAI — the company behind ChatGPT— Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Reflection — a startup making powerful open-source AI. The goal is to expand access to advanced AI technology within the United States military for defense and security work. A statement from the US Department of Defense said it would deploy the firms' AI capabilities for "lawful operational use." The US government classifies sensitive information into three main levels: confidential, secret and top secret, with secret being the middle level. The new AI systems will be integrated into the Pentagon’s secure classified networks, known as Impact Levels 6 and 7. These networks are approved to handle information up to the secret level. This will give more defense and military personnel access to powerful AI tools while maintaining strict security controls. Unauthorized disclosure of secret information could seriously damage national security. The Pentagon's main AI platform, GenAI.mil, has been used by more than 1.3 million Defense Department personnel in the five months since it launched, the department said. The press statement added that GenAI.mil had cut "many tasks from months to days," noting that adding the other AI platforms "will give warfighters the tools they need to act with confidence and safeguard the nation against any threat." Anthropic excluded from deals The agreements notably exclude Anthropic, which was barred by the Pentagon and its contractors earlier this year after being labeled a supply-chain risk — a term the US government uses when it believes a company or product could pose a potential security threat to sensitive data. Defense Department Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael told CNBC on Friday that Anthropic remains a supply chain risk. However, he described the company’s Mythos AI model — known for its advanced cyber capabilities — as “a separate national security moment.” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with senior Trump administration officials at the White House earlier this month to discuss the model, a meeting both sides described as productive. US President Donald Trump said last week that Anthropic was "shaping up" in the eyes of his administration, raising the possibility that the company could eventually have its blacklisting reversed.
