Indian Navy escorts 9th LPG vessel Green Asha through Strait of Hormuz
UPDATED: Apr 6, 2026 15:35 IST
The Indian Navy on Monday escorted the ninth LPG-carrying vessel, Green Asha, through the Strait of Hormuz as part of 'Operation Urja Suraksha'.
The vessel is expected to reach India within the next 24 to 36 hours. This follows the successful transit of the eighth vessel, Greensanvi, which is carrying 46,655 metric tons of LPG and is slated to arrive at Dahej in Gujarat's Bharuch district.
Another vessel, Jag Vikram, currently awaits instructions for safe passage. This naval operation, monitored by the Defence Minister, aims to secure India’s energy security amid regional disruptions. Reports indicate that the arrival of these tankers will help normalise domestic LPG distribution, which was previously impacted by hoarding and black marketing. The government has assured the public that multiple measures are being taken to manage petroleum imports from 41 countries and ease supply constraints. The initiative highlights the critical role of the Indian Navy's task force in the Persian Gulf in guiding Indian-flagged vessels to safety.

9 killed after fire breaks out in Delhi residential building, AC blast suspected
A fire broke out in a residential building in Delhi's Vivek Vihar area during the early hours, resulting in the deaths of nine people. The blaze, which started around 3:00 AM, is suspected to have been caused by an air conditioner blast on the second floor. The fire spread to the upper floors, trapping several residents. Fourteen fire tenders were rushed to the spot to conduct rescue and relief operations. Firefighters faced initial challenges due to a net covering the first floor, but managed to rescue over a dozen people from the building. Some victims were found trapped near the locked terrace gates, while others were discovered on their beds. Cooling and combing operations are currently underway at the site. While the police have not officially reported any injuries, an eyewitness stated that one person was injured. Authorities continue to investigate the incident as the rescue operations conclude.

Postmortem: Mumbai knife attack and the shadow of radicalisation among youths
This edition of Postmortem turns the spotlight on crimes that both shock and compel closer scrutiny, unpacking not just the act but the larger patterns behind it. In today's episode, the focus is on a chilling knife attack in Mumbai, where a man allegedly carried out a violent assault while claiming links with ISIS. The incident has raised fresh concerns about the persistence of extremist influence and the vulnerability of individuals to radical ideologies. The episode goes beyond the crime itself, examining the broader trend of radicalisation among young men. It explores how online propaganda, social isolation, and ideological manipulation can create pathways that lead individuals towards extremism. Postmortem also takes a closer look at how law enforcement agencies across India track and respond to such threats. From intelligence gathering to coordinated surveillance networks, the programme highlights the mechanisms used by police to identify early signs of radicalisation and intervene before violence unfolds.
