Terrifying Mid-Air Ordeal for IndiGo: तूफान के बीच यात्रियों में दहशत, पाकिस्तानी एयरस्पेस में एंट्री से इनकार

Terrifying Mid-Air Ordeal for IndiGo: पाकिस्तान ने नहीं दी हवाई क्षेत्र की इजाजत

दिल्ली से श्रीनगर जा रही इंडिगो की फ्लाइट 6E-2142, जिसमें 220 से अधिक यात्री सवार थे (इनमें तृणमूल कांग्रेस के सांसद भी शामिल थे), 21 मई को हवा में आए एक भीषण ओलावृष्टि तूफान में फंस गई। यह फ्लाइट बाल-बाल किसी बड़े हादसे से बची।
नागर विमानन महानिदेशालय (DGCA) की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, खतरनाक मौसम से बचने के लिए पायलट ने पाकिस्तान के हवाई क्षेत्र में प्रवेश की अनुमति मांगी थी, लेकिन वहां की एयर ट्रैफिक कंट्रोल (ATC) ने इसे खारिज कर दिया।

हवा में कैसे पैदा हुआ संकट?

फ्लाइट उस समय पंजाब के पठानकोट के पास लगभग 36,000 फीट की ऊंचाई पर थी जब यह तूफान में फंस गई। विमान को ओलों और भयंकर टर्बुलेंस का सामना करना पड़ा, जिससे ऑटो-पायलट सिस्टम बंद हो गया और पायलट को मैनुअल मोड में विमान उड़ाना पड़ा।

ओलों की मार इतनी तीव्र थी कि विमान के आगे का हिस्सा (नोज़ कोन) बुरी तरह क्षतिग्रस्त हो गया। तस्वीरों में विमान की बाहरी बॉडी पर स्पष्ट डेंट्स देखे जा सकते हैं।

तूफान से बचने की कोशिश

पायलट ने पहले भारतीय वायुसेना (IAF) द्वारा संचालित उत्तरी एयर ट्रैफिक कंट्रोल से संपर्क किया और अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा की ओर मुड़ने की अनुमति मांगी ताकि तूफान से बचा जा सके। लेकिन हाल ही में ऑपरेशन ‘सिंदूर’ (7 से 10 मई) और सुरक्षा कारणों की वजह से यह अनुरोध अस्वीकार कर दिया गया।

इसके बाद, पायलट ने लाहौर ATC (पाकिस्तान) से आपात स्थिति में हवाई क्षेत्र में प्रवेश की अनुमति मांगी, लेकिन वहां से भी इनकार कर दिया गया। DGCA की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, इससे पायलट के पास आगे बढ़ने के अलावा कोई विकल्प नहीं बचा।

घातक टर्बुलेंस और खतरनाक उतार

सुरक्षित मार्ग न मिलने की स्थिति में, पायलट ने श्रीनगर की ओर सबसे छोटा रास्ता अपनाने का फैसला किया, जिससे विमान को सीधे तूफान के बीच से गुजरना पड़ा। इस दौरान विमान को ‘अपड्राफ्ट’ और ‘डाउनड्राफ्ट’ – यानी ऊपर और नीचे की ओर जोरदार हवा के दबाव – का सामना करना पड़ा, जिससे विमान की ऊंचाई तेजी से घटने लगी।

एक समय तो विमान का अवतरण दर 8,500 फीट प्रति मिनट तक पहुँच गया, जो विमानन क्षेत्र में बेहद खतरनाक माना जाता है। साथ ही, विमान को बार-बार ‘स्टॉल वार्निंग’ और अधिकतम ऑपरेटिंग स्पीड से अधिक की चेतावनियाँ मिलने लगीं।

सोशल मीडिया पर यात्रियों की दहशत

फ्लाइट में हुई इस घटना के बाद सोशल मीडिया पर यात्रियों द्वारा रिकॉर्ड किए गए कई वीडियो वायरल हुए हैं। इनमें यात्री चीखते-चिल्लाते, रोते और प्रार्थना करते दिखाई दे रहे हैं।

पायलट ने कैसे कराई सुरक्षित लैंडिंग?

इस कठिन परिस्थिति में पायलट और क्रू ने सभी आपातकालीन नियमों और ECAM (इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सेंट्रलाइज्ड एयरक्राफ्ट मॉनिटरिंग) चेकलिस्ट को फॉलो किया। उन्होंने ‘PAN PAN’ अलर्ट घोषित किया – जो ‘Mayday’ से थोड़ा कम गंभीर लेकिन महत्वपूर्ण स्थिति को दर्शाता है – और श्रीनगर ATC से RADAR गाइडेंस मांगा।

एयर ट्रैफिक कंट्रोल के निर्देश पर विमान को रनवे से जोड़ने में मदद मिली और आखिरकार विमान ऑटो थ्रस्ट मोड के सामान्य संचालन के साथ श्रीनगर एयरपोर्ट पर सुरक्षित लैंड हुआ।

सुरक्षा और राजनीतिक परिप्रेक्ष्य

यह घटना उस समय सामने आई है जब भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच हवाई संपर्क सीमित हैं। अप्रैल में पहलगाम में हुए आतंकी हमले के बाद भारत ने पाकिस्तान के लिए अपना हवाई क्षेत्र बंद कर दिया था, जिसके जवाब में पाकिस्तान ने भी भारतीय विमानों के लिए अपनी एयरस्पेस बंद कर दी।

क्या जरूरी है अंतरराष्ट्रीय नियमों की समीक्षा?

इस घटना ने अंतरराष्ट्रीय विमानन नियमों पर सवाल खड़े कर दिए हैं। विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि आपात स्थितियों में राजनीतिक तनाव के बावजूद मानवीय सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता दी जानी चाहिए। DGCA इस घटना के बाद अपनी नीति की समीक्षा कर सकता है और भविष्य में ऐसी परिस्थितियों के लिए पाकिस्तान और अन्य देशों के साथ कूटनीतिक संवाद की संभावना भी जताई जा रही है।

Terrifying Mid-Air Ordeal for IndiGo: Delhi to Srinagar

An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Srinagar carrying over 220 passengers, including TMC MPs, narrowly escaped disaster on May 21 after being caught in a severe hailstorm mid-air. According to a report from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the flight crew attempted to avoid the dangerous weather by requesting entry into Pakistan’s airspace—but were denied by authorities across the border, further intensifying the life-threatening situation.

What Led to the Crisis Midair?

Flight 6E-2142 was cruising at an altitude of approximately 36,000 feet near Pathankot in Punjab when it encountered extreme weather conditions. The aircraft was hit by a powerful hailstorm and turbulence that forced the autopilot to disengage. Pilots had to take manual control of the aircraft under increasingly dangerous conditions.

The hailstorm also caused visible physical damage to the aircraft, including a heavily dented nose cone, likely from the intense impact of ice particles during the storm.

Pilot’s Attempt to Avoid the Storm

With storm clouds directly ahead and passenger safety in jeopardy, the pilot first contacted Northern Air Traffic Control, operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF), seeking clearance to divert toward the international border to steer clear of the storm. However, due to heightened tensions following Operation Sindoor between May 7–10 and the ongoing security situation, the request was not approved.

Following this, the pilot turned to Lahore Air Traffic Control (Pakistan) for emergency access into their airspace to escape the storm. Pakistan, however, also denied the request, as per the DGCA report, thereby leaving the flight crew with no option but to brave the turbulent weather.

Severe Turbulence, Updrafts, and Downdrafts

The decision to continue toward Srinagar via the shortest possible path meant flying through a violent thunderstorm. The plane faced intense updrafts and downdrafts—vertical air movements that can rapidly change an aircraft’s altitude and direction.

This led to a sudden descent rate of 8,500 feet per minute, which is considered extremely dangerous in aviation. The aircraft also received repeated stall warnings, and exceeded the Maximum Operating Speed (VMO) and Maximum Operating Mach (MMO), setting off multiple in-flight alarms.

Social media was flooded with disturbing videos from passengers onboard, showing people screaming, crying, and praying during the sudden drops and shakes.

How the Pilot Managed a Safe Landing

Despite the storm and refusal of alternate airspace, the crew executed emergency protocols with discipline. After performing the required ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) actions, the pilot declared a ‘PAN PAN’ emergency—a signal less urgent than a ‘Mayday’ but still critical—to alert Srinagar ATC.

The crew then requested RADAR vectors from ATC to align the aircraft safely with the runway. Auto Thrust systems resumed normal operation during descent, and the aircraft finally landed safely at Srinagar airport.

Political and Security Context

This near-tragic event comes against the backdrop of strained India-Pakistan aviation ties. Following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, India restricted its airspace access for Pakistani carriers. In response, Pakistan reciprocated by closing its skies to Indian flights, which likely influenced the denial from Lahore ATC.

Calls for Review of Emergency Protocols

The incident has raised serious questions about international aviation protocols, especially when human lives are at stake. Experts and civil aviation analysts argue that political boundaries should not override emergency safety concerns in such critical situations.

The DGCA is likely to review its policies following the incident, and it may initiate diplomatic discussions for future emergency flight path cooperation, particularly over volatile border zones.An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Srinagar carrying over 220 passengers, including TMC MPs, narrowly escaped disaster on May 21 after being caught in a severe hailstorm mid-air.

iPhone 17 Air Tipped to Offer: Lightweight Design, Single Camera Setup

iPhone 17 Air Tipped to Offer: iPhone 17 Air

Apple is expected to launch its iPhone 17 series later this year, and while the company has not officially confirmed the naming convention, all signs point to the next flagship being called the iPhone 17 lineup. Among the various models, the rumored iPhone 17 Air is generating the most buzz—and for good reason. Reports suggest it could be Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever, potentially challenging the likes of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge.

Let’s take a closer look at what this new model could bring to the table, and whether Apple is ready to go back to slim-and-light design as a standout feature.

iPhone 17 Air: The Slim Comeback?

The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to revive the concept of ultra-thin smartphones—something Apple hasn’t explored in a while. Based on early leaks and insider reports, the phone could feature a sleek aluminium chassis, minimalist design, and—surprisingly—a single rear and front camera setup. This marks a notable shift from Apple’s recent trend of packing multiple cameras into even its mid-tier devices.

Recent leaked images comparing the iPhone 17 Air with the current iPhone 16 Pro model show just how much thinner the upcoming model might be. The design language seems focused on portability and premium aesthetics, with reports hinting at a device measuring just 5.5mm in thickness and weighing under 150 grams.

Why Go Slim in 2025?

While the market is moving toward larger batteries and longer battery life, Apple (and Samsung) seem to be exploring the slim and stylish segment again. For example, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to feature a 3900mAh battery in a 5.8mm frame. Apple’s answer with the iPhone 17 Air could potentially raise the bar further in terms of weight and thickness.

Of course, going slim usually means one big trade-off: battery life. Apple might have a solution here too. Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air will have support for a dedicated battery pack accessory designed specifically for the Air model. This could offset any battery concerns, while also opening up a new revenue stream through accessory sales—something Apple already dominates with products like MagSafe and AirPods.

A Strategic Shift or Just a Niche Model?

The introduction of the iPhone 17 Air might signal a strategic product shift. Industry insiders believe Apple may be planning to replace the iPhone Plus model with this new Air variant. If this happens, the iPhone 17 Air will essentially take the middle spot in the lineup—above the standard iPhone 17 but below the iPhone 17 Pro models.

While Apple hasn’t confirmed pricing yet, expectations are that the iPhone 17 Air could be priced around ₹10,000 higher than the current iPhone Plus variant. That would position the device somewhere between ₹85,000–₹95,000 in India. For a phone that’s slim, lightweight, and carries Apple’s premium branding, there will likely be a lot of takers.

Who Is It For?

Apple seems to be targeting users who value portability, design, and premium feel over features like multiple cameras or all-day battery life. This could include younger users, frequent travelers, or professionals looking for a secondary device that’s easy to carry around.

But some experts are asking whether the market really needs an ultra-slim phone in 2025—especially when battery life, performance, and camera tech are the current priorities for most buyers. The iPhone 17 Air could be a bold experiment or the beginning of a new category in Apple’s product ecosystem.

Final Thoughts

The iPhone 17 Air is shaping up to be one of the most interesting iPhones we’ve seen in years—not because of a new chip or camera tech, but due to its design philosophy. If the leaks are accurate, Apple may finally be ready to embrace minimalism again in its smartphone hardware.

With a sleek profile, premium build, and smart accessory integration, the iPhone 17 Air could offer a unique blend of style and functionality. It remains to be seen how the market will respond, but one thing is certain—Apple knows how to generate hype, and the Air could be its next big talking point when the iPhone 17 series launches later this year.

Breaking Language Barriers: Google Meet Now Offers AI-Powered Live Translations

Breaking Language Barriers: Google I/O 2025

At Google I/O 2025, the tech giant unveiled a wave of AI-powered enhancements across its product suite, including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Vids, and Google Workspace. Among the most groundbreaking updates is the addition of real-time AI speech translation in Google Meet, a feature set to transform how users communicate in multilingual video calls.

AI-Powered Speech Translation in Google Meet

Google is taking video conferencing to the next level by integrating generative AI translation technology into Google Meet. With this upgrade, participants in a meeting can speak in their native languages and still understand each other in real time—without relying on human interpreters or delayed captions.

According to Google, the new translation feature maintains the original speaker’s voice, tone, and emotional nuance, offering a more human and immersive communication experience than anything we’ve seen before.

How It Works: Translation with Voice Preservation

During the I/O 2025 keynote, Google CEO Sundar Pichai gave a live demonstration of the feature. An English speaker and a Spanish speaker held a conversation on Google Meet, with real-time AI-generated speech translating their words seamlessly while preserving each speaker’s voice inflections and emotional cues.

The system doesn’t replace the original audio completely. Instead, it superimposes the translated voice over the original, allowing users to faintly hear the speaker’s actual voice underneath. This hybrid approach delivers a more natural and trustworthy interaction compared to synthetic or fully dubbed translations.

Minimal Delay, Maximum Impact

One of the biggest technical feats, according to Google, is the minimal latency. Previous translation tools often introduced delays that made dynamic conversations difficult. But with this new AI model, multiple participants can converse fluidly, making this a major breakthrough in real-time multilingual communication.

This innovation not only caters to global teams and international businesses but could also play a pivotal role in cross-border education, diplomacy, and customer support.

Language Support and Availability

As of now, real-time speech translation on Google Meet is available in English and Spanish, and is being rolled out in beta for select users. Google has confirmed that Italian, German, and Portuguese will be added to the supported languages in the coming weeks.

This feature is currently available to Google AI Pro and Ultra tier subscribers and will be extended to Workspace business users later this year for early testing.

More Gemini Features Arrive Across Workspace

Beyond Google Meet, Gemini AI is also making significant strides across other Google Workspace apps, especially Gmail:

Smart Email Replies

Gmail users can now benefit from personalized AI-generated replies. Gemini uses context-aware suggestions to help users draft full responses that match the tone and intent of their messages—saving time and improving communication quality.

Fast Appointment Scheduling

Gmail now supports Fast Appointment Scheduling directly within the email interface. Users can seamlessly book meetings and send calendar invites without leaving their inbox, streamlining collaboration and productivity.

Competing With Microsoft Teams and Zoom

Google’s real-time translation technology puts it ahead of competitors like Microsoft Teams, which also announced a similar feature earlier this year but hasn’t fully rolled it out. With minimal delay and voice-preserving translation, Google Meet is positioning itself as the go-to platform for global, AI-powered video conferencing.

When Will You Get It?

If you’re a Google Workspace business user or a Gemini AI Pro/Ultra subscriber, you can start trying out these features now or in the near future. Broader availability is expected later this year as Google collects feedback from beta testers and improves translation accuracy across languages.

Final Thoughts

With the launch of real-time AI speech translation, Google is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with virtual communication. From removing language barriers to improving global collaboration, this feature could redefine remote work, education, and customer engagement. Combined with Gemini’s powerful new tools in Gmail and other Workspace apps, Google is clearly going all-in on AI-first productivity.

Sergey Brin on Google Glass: From a Flawed Launch to a Promising Comeback

Sergey Brin on Google Glass: Android XR

More than a decade after the original Google Glass made headlines, Google is ready for a fresh attempt at smart glasses. Powered by GenAI and the upcoming Android XR platform, the next-generation Google Glass — informally referred to as c— is set to debut in 2025. The move is being seen as a strategic revival, with Google co-founder Sergey Brin once again playing a central role in its vision.

The First Google Glass: A Bold Idea That Fell Short

Launched in 2013, the original Google Glass promised a futuristic experience where users could interact with the digital world using a head-mounted display. Sergey Brin, then at the forefront of Google’s experimental division, introduced it as the next step in wearable tech.

Despite the hype and innovation, the product struggled in the mainstream. A high price tag, privacy concerns (especially over the built-in front-facing camera), and limited real-world use cases meant that the device never moved beyond internal testing and select developer adoption.

Bringing Back the Glass – With a Smarter Twist

At Google I/O 2025, Brin made a surprise appearance during a fireside chat, where he reflected on the past mistakes of the original Glass project and shared why the new version could succeed.

Brin admitted he had underestimated key aspects like:

  • Hardware production and supply chain management
  • Consumer pricing strategies
  • User experience expectations
  • Social and privacy perceptions around wearable tech

However, what’s changed in 2025 is the rise of generative AI (GenAI) and Google’s powerful Gemini AI model, which is expected to play a big role in the new Glass product.

GenAI and Android XR: The Heart of Glass 2.0

The new Google Glass will be powered by Android XR, Google’s extended reality platform, designed to run immersive and interactive experiences. Coupled with Gemini, the company’s advanced AI assistant, the glasses aim to be far more intuitive and responsive than their predecessor.

Here’s what we can expect from Glass 2.0:

  • Real-time translation and transcription
  • Voice-guided navigation and context-aware prompts
  • AI summarization and quick information delivery
  • A camera-free design for improved privacy and social comfort
  • Streamlined aesthetics to look more like normal glasses than a tech device

Brin emphasized that the new version will avoid the “creepy camera” that drew public criticism in the original. This change alone could make the product more socially acceptable and market-friendly.

Lessons Learned and a New Approach

Brin’s insights showed a clear shift in how Google is approaching hardware this time. With a more mature AI ecosystem, a better understanding of consumer behavior, and stronger developer support, Glass 2.0 seems to be built with practicality in mind — similar to the recent success of Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses.

He also noted that AI was the missing link in the original concept. Without powerful on-device intelligence, the old Glass was more of a display extension than a true assistant. With Gemini, Google now has the infrastructure to support an AI-first wearable experience that feels natural and useful.

Competition in the Smart Glasses Market Heats Up

Google’s re-entry into the smart glasses segment comes at a time when AI-powered wearables are gaining traction. Meta, Apple (with Vision Pro), and even startups like Xreal and Rokid are exploring similar territories, merging AR capabilities with smart assistant features.

By integrating Android XR and making Gemini the core experience, Google is positioning Glass 2.0 not just as an accessory, but as a standalone intelligent device — a personal AI agent you wear.

When Can We Expect It?

While an exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, Google Glass 2.0 is expected to launch sometime in 2025, likely around the next Google I/O or shortly after. Prototypes are reportedly being tested internally, and select developers may soon get early access for app development.

Final Thoughts

With Sergey Brin’s return to the project, and Google learning from the missteps of the past, the revival of Google Glass could mark a turning point for . Combining cutting-edge AI, a privacy-conscious design, and a lightweight XR operating system, the to be more useful, less intrusive, and far more refined.

While the success of Glass 2.0 is still uncertain, one thing is clear — this time, Google is better prepared and more aligned with the tech trends of today.

उन्होंने यह भी घोषणा की कि लगभग 300 करोड़ रुपये के निवेश से पंचकूला, दादरी और फतेहाबाद में नई जेलों का निर्माण किया जाएगा। इसके अलावा, करनाल में जिला जेल परिसर में एक गौशाला भी शुरू की जाएगी।

इस अवसर पर उपस्थित लोगों को संबोधित करते हुए मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि नई जेल प्रशिक्षण अकादमी सुधार प्रणाली में परिवर्तनकारी दृष्टिकोण की शुरुआत है। उन्होंने कहा कि यह केवल एक इमारत का उद्घाटन नहीं है, यह एक नए दृष्टिकोण के परिवर्तन और एक अन्य विज़न की शुरुआत है। हमारी जेलें केवल सजा नहीं, बल्कि बदलाव, पुनरुद्धार और पुनर्निर्माण का केंद्र बननी चाहिए।

उन्होंने कहा कि नवनिर्मित अकादमी में नए भर्ती किए गए लोगों के लिए प्रारंभिक प्रशिक्षण और मौजूदा कर्मचारियों के लिए पुनश्चर्या पाठ्यक्रम प्रदान किए जाएंगे, जिससे यह सुनिश्चित होगा कि जेल विभाग के अधिकारियों और कर्मचारियों को आधुनिक तकनीकों, मानवाधिकारों और कैदी सुधार के मनोवैज्ञानिक पहलुओं में प्रशिक्षित किया जाए। उन्होंने कहा कि बदलते समय के साथ, हमारे जेल कर्मचारियों को न केवल अनुशासन के साधनों से सुसज्जित करना आवश्यक है, बल्कि सहानुभूति, न्याय और सामाजिक पुनर्वास की भावना से भी लैस करना आवश्यक है।

मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी के दूरदर्शी नेतृत्व में भारत गहन परिवर्तन के दौर से गुजर रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि राष्ट्र एक विकसित और तकनीकी रूप से सशक्त भारत बनने की दिशा में तेजी से आगे बढ़ रहा है। इसका एक ताजा उदाहरण ऑपरेशन सिंदूर के दौरान देखने को मिला, जहां दुनिया ने भारत की तकनीकी विशेषज्ञता, परिचालन दक्षता और रणनीतिक कौशल को मान्यता दी।

उन्होंने कहा कि शासन और लोक प्रशासन में पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही बढ़ाने में प्रौद्योगिकी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा रही है। डिजिटल इंडिया के लक्ष्यों के अनुरूप, हरियाणा भी स्मार्ट जेल स्थापित करने की दिशा में आगे बढ़ रहा है, जहां आधुनिक उपकरण और प्रणालियां जेल प्रबंधन में सुधार लाएगी। उन्होंने विश्वास व्यक्त किया कि जैसे-जैसे भारत अमृतकाल की ओर बढ़ रहा है, यह अकादमी न्याय और सुधार प्रणाली में सुधार और नवाचार का एक स्तंभ बनकर उभरेगी।

इससे पहले, मुख्यमंत्री ने जेल के कैदियों द्वारा बनाए गए विभिन्न उत्पादों को प्रदर्शित करने वाली एक प्रदर्शनी का भी अवलोकन किया और नई  जेल अकादमी का भी दौरा किया।  

Vacancies for jail wardens: जेल सुधारों को प्राथमिकता दी गई

इस अवसर पर बोलते हुए, सहकारिता एवं जेल मंत्री डॉ. अरविंद शर्मा ने मुख्यमंत्री श्री नायब सिंह सैनी के नेतृत्व में जेल विभाग द्वारा की जा रही प्रगतिशील पहलों की प्रशंसा की। उन्होंने कहा कि हरियाणा की जेलों का आधुनिकीकरण किया जा रहा है और समग्र प्रबंधन में सुधार तथा बेहतर पुनर्वास परिणाम सुनिश्चित करने के लिए नवीनतम तकनीक से सुसज्जित किया जा रहा है।

जेलों के महत्व पर प्रकाश डालते हुए, डॉ. शर्मा ने कहा कि आज, जेल केवल कारावास के केंद्र नहीं हैं, वे परिवर्तन के स्थान हैं जहां कैदी सुधरे हुए और बेहतर व्यक्ति बनकर निकलते हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि कैदी जेल प्रणाली के भीतर शुरू किए गए विभिन्न कौशल-आधारित कार्यक्रमों के माध्यम से जेल राजस्व में सक्रिय रूप से योगदान दे रहे हैं। डॉ. शर्मा ने मुख्यमंत्री से साप्ताहिक गीता श्लोक सत्र शुरू करने और  राज्य की सभी जेलों में नियमित योग कक्षाएं आयोजित करने का भी आग्रह किया।

Vacancies for jail wardens: उन्नत तकनीकों में कर रही निवेश

गृह एवं जेल विभाग की अतिरिक्त मुख्य सचिव डॉ. सुमिता मिश्रा ने जेल प्रशिक्षण अकादमी की स्थापना पर प्रशंसा व्यक्त करते हुए इसे मुख्यमंत्री श्री नायब सिंह सैनी के विजन और सहयोग से साकार किया गया एक प्रतिष्ठित प्रोजेक्ट बताया। उन्होंने इस बात पर प्रकाश डाला कि इस तरह की आधुनिक और विशिष्ट जेल प्रशिक्षण सुविधा पड़ोसी राज्यों में उपलब्ध नहीं है और संभवतः यह उत्तर भारत में अपनी तरह की पहली सुविधा होगी।

डॉ. मिश्रा ने कहा कि राज्य सरकार जेल विभाग को आधुनिक बनाने के लिए उन्नत तकनीकों में सक्रिय रूप से निवेश कर रही है। उन्होंने बताया कि राज्य की विभिन्न जेलों में 1,100 से अधिक सीसीटीवी कैमरे लगाए गए हैं, जिससे निगरानी और सुरक्षा में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि हुई है। उन्होंने  बताया कि संबंधित अदालतों के साथ जेलों की व्यापक मैपिंग की गई है, जिससे अंडरट्रायल  कैदियों को जेल परिसर के भीतर से ही वर्चुअल तरीके से अदालत में पेश होते हैं । इस पहल से न केवल धन और समय की बचत हुई है बल्कि सुरक्षा भी सुनिश्चित हुई है।

इस अवसर पर विधायक जगमोहन आनंद, योगेंद्र राणा, भगवान दास कबीरपंथी, सुनील सांगवान, करनाल की मेयर रेणु बाला गुप्ता, भाजपा के जिलाध्यक्ष प्रवीन लाठर, भाजपा नेता त्रिलोचन सिंह, निर्मला बैरागी, चेयरपर्सन मेघा भंडारी, पार्षद संकल्प भंडारी, ईलम सिंह, मंजू खैंची, जगदेव पाढ़ा, डीसी उत्तम सिंह, एसपी गंगाराम पूनिया, एसडीएम अनुभव मेहता तथा अन्य गणमान्य व्यक्ति मौजूद रहे।

Huawei Launches Its First Foldable Laptop: Price, Specs and Features

Huawei Launches Its First Foldable Laptop: MateBook Fold Ultimate

Huawei has officially launched its first-ever foldable laptop — the MateBook Fold Ultimate, marking its entry into the growing segment of foldable notebooks. With this launch, Huawei joins major tech players like Lenovo, HP, and Asus, but what sets this device apart is that it’s the first foldable notebook from the brand not running on Windows OS. Instead, it is powered by Huawei’s own HarmonyOS.

The MateBook Fold Ultimate is not just a foldable gimmick. It’s packed with powerful specs, a premium OLED display, and thoughtful design choices that make it a strong contender in the premium foldable computing space.

Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate: Price and Variants

Huawei is offering the MateBook Fold Ultimate in two high-end variants:

  • Base model: 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD storage – CNY 24,000 (approx ₹2.85 lakh)
  • Top-end model: 32GB RAM + 2TB SSD storage – CNY 27,000 (approx ₹3.2 lakh)

The foldable laptop is expected to go on sale early next month in select markets.

Foldable Display and Design

One of the biggest highlights of the MateBook Fold Ultimate is its 18-inch flexible OLED LTPO display. The screen offers a high-resolution output of 3296 x 2472 pixels when fully unfolded with a 4:3 aspect ratio, giving users a tablet-like experience.

In folded “laptop mode”, the aspect ratio changes to 3:2 with a 2472 x 1648 resolution, ideal for typing and productivity tasks. The screen supports:

  • 1600 nits peak brightness
  • 1440Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort
  • Non-Newtonian fluid coating for protection
  • Carbon fiber layering for extra durability

Huawei also claims the panel is 30% more energy-efficient and has 3 times the lifespan compared to standard OLED displays.

The device supports various usage modes:

  • Laptop mode (half-open with virtual keyboard)
  • Tablet mode (fully open)
  • Tent or stand mode (using the kickstand for media or presentations)

A built-in kickstand adds flexibility, allowing it to be used in landscape or portrait modes with ease.

Performance and Software

While Huawei has not officially revealed the processor powering the device, the MateBook Fold Ultimate comes with 32GB RAM, making it suitable for multitasking, video editing, and more. You get a choice between 1TB or 2TB SSD storage options.

The laptop runs on HarmonyOS, Huawei’s own operating system. While the UI feels familiar to Windows users, HarmonyOS is built in-house, offering better integration with Huawei’s ecosystem of devices.

It also includes an advanced dual-fan cooling system with a vapor chamber, ensuring the laptop stays cool even during intensive workloads.

Battery and Connectivity

Despite its large size, the MateBook Fold Ultimate remains efficient with a 74.69Wh battery. According to Huawei, the battery can last through a full workday on a single charge.

For connectivity and multimedia, the device features:

  • Two USB-C ports
  • Six speakers
  • Four microphones

This setup makes it ideal for both entertainment and work, such as video calls, media streaming, and online meetings.

What’s in the Box?

Huawei is offering a complete bundle with the MateBook Fold Ultimate, which includes:

  • Wireless magnetic keyboard
  • Stylish carry case
  • 140W USB-C fast charger
  • USB-C charging cable

These accessories make the experience seamless right out of the box, without needing to buy additional items separately.

Design, Portability, and Build

Huawei has paid special attention to the design and portability of the MateBook Fold Ultimate. Despite having an 18-inch screen, the laptop isc. It’s also incredibly slim:

  • Folded thickness: 14.9mm
  • Unfolded thickness: 7.3mm

The sleek profile is made possible with a three-layer aluminum alloy frame and an ultra-thin PCB board, offering a strong yet lightweight build.

Final Thoughts

With the MateBook Fold Ultimate, Huawei is setting a high bar in the foldable laptop category. The device combines top-tier hardware, a stunning OLED display, and flexible design, making it one of the most premium offerings in its class.

While the high price may limit its appeal to power users and professionals, it’s clear that Huawei is serious about innovation in the PC space — and with HarmonyOS on board, the company is moving confidently toward building a more independent software ecosystem.

Stay tuned as the laptop becomes available next month, and we’ll soon see how it performs in real-world usage.
