Indian Air Force Group Captain Prashanth Balakrishnan Nair, who is part of India’s Gaganyaan Mission, on Wednesday said that training for it is continuing with full energy. He was speaking to reporters after interacting with the students of Government Model Boys Higher Secondary School at Thycaud here. Mr. Balakrishnan Nair said that India will, in 2027, send its first person to space “from our capsule,” but a lot of tests remain to be carried out before that. First a robot, ‘Vyom Mitra,’ will be sent as part of the tests and then there will be many other missions.

After mandating pet dog licensing and microchipping, Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) bids to do the same for cattle to curb stray cattle issues and man-animal conflicts in the streets. The civic body has moved to make it compulsory for cattle owners to obtain licenses for their animals across all zones.
