Srinagar, July 3: A non-structural interior window frame on one of SpiceJet’s Q400 aircraft became loose during a flight and was found dislodged, the airline confirmed in an official statement.

#SpiceJet from Goa to Pune today. The whole interior window assembly just fell off mid-flight. And this flight is now supposed to take off and head to Jaipur. Wonder if it’s air worthy..” a passenger wrote on X.

SpiceJet emphasized that cabin pressurization remained stable throughout the journey, and passenger safety was never compromised. The loose component, described as a cosmetic trim used for shade, does not contribute to the aircraft’s structural integrity or pressure maintenance, the airline added.

“The Q400 aircraft features multiple window layers, including a pressure-bearing outer pane, ensuring continued safety even if a superficial panel is dislodged,” SpiceJet stated.

The incident gained attention after a passenger posted a video of the dislodged panel on social media platform X, raising concerns about the aircraft’s airworthiness.

Srinagar, July 3: Multiple social media accounts of Pakistani celebrities and YouTube channels that were blocked in India during Operation Sindoor have been temporarily restored. This development comes after a recent government review found that several of these platforms had not shared anti-India content for a significant period.

As reported by the media, Instagram profiles of prominent actors including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, and Danish Taimoor were once again visible to Indian users on Wednesday. Additionally, YouTube channels belonging to former cricketers Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar were also made accessible.

Entertainment YouTube channels such as Hum TV, ARY Digital, and Har Pal Geo, which were previously blocked, were also made streamable in India again.

According to reports the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) intensified its demand for a permanent ban on all Pakistani entertainment content in India. In a fresh appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the association called for a complete shutdown, from social media and OTT to all forms of advertising and media collaborations.

Calling the reappearance of Pakistani celebrities “an emotional assault,” AICWA strongly criticised the development. The body referred to major terror attacks including 26/11, Pulwama, Uri, and the recent Pahalgam massacre where 26 civilians lost their lives. It condemned the silence of Pakistani artists and even their alleged anti-India comments after Operation Sindoor.

New Delhi, July 03: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his American counterpart Pete Hegseth have agreed to firm up a 10-year framework to further expand defence and strategic ties between India and the US.

The decision on the defence framework was mentioned in a Pentagon statement that was released on Wednesday, a day after Singh and US Defence Secretary Hegseth held a phone conversation.

“Secretary Hegseth and Minister Singh agreed to sign the next 10-year US-India Defence Framework when they next meet this year,” it said.

It said the two sides discussed pending major US defence sales to India and the imperative of close defence industrial cooperation between the two countries.

“Secretary Hegseth emphasised the priority the United States places on India as its key defence partner in South Asia,” the Pentagon said.

It said the two leaders reviewed the “considerable progress” both countries have made toward achieving the defence goals set out in the February 2025 joint statement by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The two discussed pending major US defence sales to India and the imperative of close defence industrial cooperation between the two countries,” the Pentagon readout said without providing further details.

In the phone conversation on Tuesday, Singh urged Hegseth to expedite the delivery of GE F404 engines to power the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, people familiar with the matter said.

Singh also pitched for early finalisation of a proposed deal between Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and US defence major GE Aerospace for joint production of F414 jet engines in India, they said.

The delay in the supply of F404 engines by GE Aerospace has resulted in HAL missing the deadline to supply Tejas Mark 1A aircraft to the Indian Air Force.

An Indian readout on Tuesday said Singh and Hegseth discussed a wide canvas of issues ranging from long-term cooperation in the defence sector, including training and military exchanges, to expanding industry collaborations.

“They agreed to further build upon the momentum of this critical and mutually beneficial partnership across all its pillars such as interoperability, integration of defence industrial supply chains, logistics sharing, increased joint military exercises and cooperation with other like-minded partners,” it said.
