 Luna-25 was supposed to execute a soft landing on the south pole of the moon on August 21, according to Russian space officials. Luna 25, Russia’s first moon mission in nearly 50 years, has ended in a crash landing, the Russian space agency said on Sunday, once again highlighting the risks involved in a lunar landing. Since 1976, there has been just one country, China, which has been successful in getting its spacecraft to soft land on the moon. It has done that twice, with Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4. All other attempts in the last ten years, by India, Israel, Japan and now Russia, have remained unsuccessful. India is making a second attempt to land later this week, with Chandrayaan-3 getting into the pre-landing orbit early on Sunday morning. Luna 25 had reported problems  on Saturday, when it attempted to get into the pre-landing orbit for a scheduled landing on Monday. Russian space agency Roscosmos had said that during the operation, “an emergency situation” had risen which stopped t

  Helping these women return home is turning out to be a tough task for Indian officials due to the stringent visa rules of the host country. Riyadh:  Several Indian women, who were promised jobs and sent to Saudi Arabia from neighbouring Gulf countries, are landing in trouble after realising that they were sent by agents using fraudulent means. Helping these women return home is turning out to be a tough task for Indian officials due to the stringent visa rules of the host country. The experience of a Hyderabadi widow, who was cheated by a local agent, exemplifies the pain and trauma such women go through to return home. She finally returned home after herculean efforts by Indian diplomats over nearly nine months to cancel her visa and repatriate her back home. Sakina Fatima (33) of Yakutpura in  Hyderabad , came to Dubai in February 2022 to work as a domestic help. However, she was not paid and when she insisted on returning home, she was told she would be sent back to Hyderabad. How

  Osmania University campus will soon be out of bounds as a thoroughfare for vehicular traffic, with decks being cleared for it to be a closed campus Hyderabad:  The sprawling  Osmania University  campus will soon be out of bounds as a thoroughfare for vehicular traffic, with decks being cleared for it to be a closed campus. Instead, a link road will be laid circumventing the campus and connecting the Vidyanagar-Amberpet side with Adikmet and Tarnaka. Once in place, the new stretch would ensure that commuters do not use the campus main road as a thoroughfare. The university administration, which has long been pitching for a closed campus, received a boost with MA&UD Minister  KT Rama Rao  on Saturday announcing that the Adikmet link road will be immediately sanctioned. The move comes following a request by OU Vice Chancellor Prof D Ravinder during an event at Nizam College on Saturday. The V-C had approached Rama Rao seeking the link road, which is estimated to cost Rs 16.50 crore.
