4. Shaheed Bhagat Singh Death Anniversary 2022 India's revolutionary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh was hanged to death on March 23, 1931 along with two other Indian freedom fighters Sukhdev Thapar and Shivaram Rajguru . This year is Shaheed Bhagat Singh's 91st death anniversary.  The young revolutionary leaders were tried and convicted by the British for fatally shooting British police officer John Saunders, whom they mistook for British police superintendent James Scott who they believed was responsible for the death of the popular nationalist leader Lala Lajpat Rai, who martyred after succumbing to injuries sustained during a lathi charge. India commemorates March 23rd every year as Shaheed Diwas to honour and remember the sacrifice of the three young Indian freedom fighters who gave up their lives for the cause of India's freedom. The newly-elected Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who had taken his oath at Bhagat Singh’s native village Khatkar Kalan, has declared Shaheed Diwas as a public holiday in the state. www.indopraba.blogspot.com

North Korea fires banned intercontinental ballistic missile, Japan's PM Fumio Kishida condemns launch North Korea fired what is suspected to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) towards the sea off its east coast on March 24, 2021, as per the militaries of South Korea and Japan.   This missile has reportedly landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone.  This could possibly be the first full-capability launch of an intercontinental ballistic mission by nuclear-armed North Korea since 2017.  North Korean state media reported that the North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un has ordered a test of a new type of ICBM.  Kim Jong Un personally oversaw the test-firing of the country's "new type" of intercontinental ballistic missile to boost its nuclear deterrent against the US "imperialists". Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has condemned North Korea's launch of a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile that landed in his country's exclusive economic zone as an "outrageous, unforgivable" act. www.indopraba.blogspot.com

6. SpiceJet collides with electric pole at Delhi Airport A SpiceJet flight collided with an electric pole before takeoff at the Delhi Airport during its pushback. The aircraft was SpiceJet flight SG 160 and it was headed towards Jammu from Delhi.  The SpiceJet flight ran into a pole damaging both the pole and the plane. A SpiceJet Spokesperson confirmed,  "Today, SpiceJet flight SG 160 was scheduled to operate between Delhi & Jammu. The aircraft's right-wing trailing edge came in close contact with a electricity pole during push back, causing damage to aileron.“ The passengers are reportedly safe and they were boarded on a different plane to head towards their destination.  An investigation has been launched into the incident.  Aileron is an hinged part on the trailing end of the wing that helps steer the plane. Ailerons are attached to the outboard trailing edge of each wing. They are movable parts of the airplane wing that are controlled by the pilot and permit the pilot to roll the aircraft around its longitudinal axis. Ailerons are used to bank the aircraft for turning, to cause one wing tip to move up and the other wing tip to move down.  www.indopraba.blogspot.com
