The Government has fact-checked media reports, clarifying that there will be no "cigarette-like" health warnings on samosas and jalebis.

The Press Information Bureau stated:
"Some media reports claim that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued a health warning on food products such as samosas, jalebi, and laddoo. This claim is . The advisory of the Union Health Ministry does not carry any warning labels on food products sold by vendors and has not been selective towards Indian snacks."

It added:
"The general advisory is a behavioural nudge to make people aware of hidden fats and excess sugar in all food products, and not specifically directed at any particular item. The advisory promotes healthier options and initiatives at workplaces and urges people to make informed choices to reduce excess oil and sugar for better health. It does not target India's rich street food culture."

Most major national news organizations had reported this misinformation.

India’s Defence Attaché to Indonesia, Captain Shiv Kumar, said that the Indian Air Force lost fighter jets to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor “only because of the constraint given by the political leadership to not attack the military establishment or their air defences.”

The Indian Navy captain attended a seminar on ‘Analysis of the Pakistan–India Air Battle and Indonesia’s Anticipatory Strategies from the Perspective of Air Power’ hosted by Universitas Dirgantara Marsekal Suryadarma in Indonesia. In a presentation, Captain Kumar acknowledged that even though he “may not agree that we lost so many aircraft, I do agree we did lose some aircraft.”

“After the loss, we changed our tactics and went for the military installations. So we first achieved suppression of enemy air defences, and that’s why all our attacks could easily go through using BrahMos missiles,” he added.

Pakistan had claimed to have shot down six Indian fighter jets, including three French-made Rafales, on May 7.

The Indian Embassy in Indonesia said that the Captain’s statements were taken out of context. An official statement read: “We have seen media reports regarding a presentation made by the Defence Attaché at a seminar. His remarks have been quoted out of context, and the media reports are a misrepresentation of the intention and thrust of the presentation made by the speaker. The presentation conveyed that the Indian Armed Forces serve under civilian political leadership, unlike some other countries in our neighbourhood. It was also explained that the objective of Operation Sindoor was to target terrorist infrastructure and that the Indian response was non-escalatory.”

11 people — including crew members and passengers — on board Air India flight AI-130 fell sick mid-air, experiencing nausea and dizziness.

While the cause of the incident is under investigation, an airline official told Hindustan Times that the passengers and crew became unwell due to slow decompression, or a decrease in cabin pressure.

The pilots did not fall sick, and the flight landed safely in Mumbai.

Confirming the incident, Air India said: “Our medical teams were ready to provide immediate medical assistance. After landing, two passengers and two cabin crew members who continued to feel unwell were taken to the medical room for further examination and were later discharged. We are investigating the incident and have duly notified the regulator.”

🚨Breaking news: Qatar Foreign Ministry said there were no casualties in the Iranian attack on US air bases in Doha. Here's the full statement of the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

"The State of Qatar strongly condemns the attack that targeted Al-Udeid Air Base by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. We consider this a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, its airspace, international law, and the United Nations Charter. We affirm that Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent with the nature and scale of this brazen aggression, in line with international law.
We reassure that Qatar’s air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles. A detailed statement regarding the circumstances of the attack will be issued later by the Ministry of Defense.
We also emphasize that the continuation of such escalatory military actions will undermine security and stability in the region, dragging it into situations that could have catastrophic consequences for international peace and security.
We call for the immediate cessation of all military actions and for a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue.
Furthermore, the State of Qatar was one of the first countries to warn against the dangers of Israeli escalation in the region. We have consistently called for diplomatic solutions to be prioritized and have stressed the importance of good-neighborliness and avoiding escalation.
We reaffirm that dialogue is the only way to overcome the current crises and ensure the security of the region and the peace of its people.
The base had been evacuated earlier, following established security and precautionary measures, given the tensions in the region. All necessary steps were taken to ensure the safety of personnel at the base, including Qatari Armed Forces members, friendly forces, and others. We confirm that no injuries or human casualties resulted from the attack."

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has pulled up Air India for “serious and repeated violations” related to flight crew scheduling.

DGCA'S WARNING

"The voluntary disclosures point to systemic failures in crew scheduling, compliance monitoring, and internal accountability. Of particular concern is the absence of strict disciplinary measures against key officials directly responsible for these operational lapses," the DGCA said in a statement.

Three officials have been identified as directly accountable for this lapse: Choorah Singh, Divisional Vice President; Pinky Mittal, Chief Manager in the Directorate of Operations, Crew Scheduling; and Payal Arora, Crew Scheduling – Planning.

The regulator also warned Air India that the company's flying license could be revoked if such violations are noted in the future. The statement said, "Any future violation of crew scheduling norms, licensing, or flight time limitations detected in any post-audit or inspection will attract strict enforcement action, including but not limited to penalties, license suspension, or withdrawal of operator permissions, as applicable."

SHOW-CAUSE NOTICE

The DGCA also served a show-cause notice to Air India for violating flight duty time limitations on May 16 and 17 for pilots of two Bangalore–London flights. The DGCA found in its review that the crew of flight AI 133 exceeded the prescribed 10-hour duty limit on both days.

AIR INDIA'S RESPONSE

The airline responded, saying, "We acknowledge the regulator’s directive and have implemented the order. In the interim, the company's Chief Operations Officer will provide direct oversight to the Integrated Operations Control Centre. Air India is committed to ensuring that there is total adherence to safety protocols and standard practices."

The DGCA's actions come almost a week after over 290 people lost their lives in an Air India crash in Ahmedabad.
