CHINESE CHECKERS IN
THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
ndia conducted the first-ever
ASEAN-India maritime exer-
cise (AIME-23) and it was a
pleasant site until the move-
ment of the boats deployed by
the maritime militia operating
under the Chinese People’s Lib-
eration Army Navy (PLAN)
sailed in close proximity. The
Chinese vessels kept an eye on
the ongoing drill, which was
held around the Exclusive Eco-
nomic Zone (EEZ) of Vietnam in
the South China Sea.
As a new cold war is brewing
in the South China Sea and is
likely to spread to the larger
Indo-Pacific, the Indian Navy
along with like-minded navies
of the South East Asian region
conducts joint maritime exer-
cises. In the Indo-Pacific, China
stretches its footprint to cover
the small island nations in the
South Pacific as well as other
countries’ EEZs dotting the re-
gion, creation and unlawful
claiming of artificial islands
such as the Spratly and Parcel
are well-known facts. Spying
and Listening ports of Coco Is-
lands leased out from Myanmar
in the Bay of Bengal and dock-
ing its spy vessel Yuan Wang-5

ly in the maritime domain.
India’s stepping up its mili-
tary drills and wartime prepar-
edness exercises with various
like-minded countries and
groups amid Chinese belliger-
ence. Similar war exercises are
taking place in the Indian
Ocean, the South China Sea, and
elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific
and East Africa. Marching for-
ward, there would be joint exer-
cises in the South Pacific and
the East China Sea as well.
The recently culminated exer-
cise, co-hosted by the Republic of

mitment to the “Act East” policy
to ensure SAGAR “Security and
Growth for all in the Region”.
The Chinese Politburo claims
the South China Sea governed
by the ancient nine-dash lines as
a historical trading route under
the Chinese territory. Hence, it
believes this region which is a
treasure trove for at least six
other sovereign states, namely,
Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Philippines, Vietnam and the
semi-autonomous state - Taiwan
to be sovereign territorial wa-
ters of China. Based on these
unethical claims, the dragon
continues flexing its muscles
and advances in this region.
At this juncture, China be-
lieves that the South China Sea
is an important piece of the
larger China-centric jigsaw puz-
zle or China-dominated world
order. For instance, China chose
Indonesia to launch its multi-
billion-dollar maritime silk-
road economic belt under the
Border and Road Initiative
(BRI). In its strategy, Beijing
seeks to influence critical global
supply chains, diverting the
flow of international trade via
critical sea lanes, railway lines
and seaports. Having access to
seaports, railway lines, power
stations and inter-regional high-
ways in the South China Sea and
surrounding regions increases
China’s strategic, economic and
political reach. Much of this as-
sistance is through loaning the
assets to Chinese investors at
petite interest rates and creat-
ing huge debts for the countries
not just in the neighbouring re-
gions but in East Africa as well
as other South Asia and East
Asian regions. Most countries
are aware of the functioning of
the Politburo and the Commu-
nist Party and how they tend to
first make or offer heavy invest-
ments in the name of infrastruc-
ture, development and connec-
tivity and later due to non-re-
payment of large loans leads to
debt creation and this strategy
known as the “Debt Trap Poli-
cy”. However, the smaller and
economically strapped states
fall prey to this strategy
.
With stepping up as the com-
prehensive strategic partner of
ASEAN, holding its first joint
maritime exercise, Indian Chief
of Defence Staff attending this
month’s Indo-Pacific meeting in
theU.S.Allenvisageabiggerrole
inassistingneighbouringemerg-
ing economies by providing mar-
itime security support, coast
guard patrol boats, domestically
produced equipment, and other
infrastructure cooperation is
aiming for changing the modus
vivendi in the larger Indo-Pacific
region. Additionally
, India, Indo-
nesia,andVietnaminSouthEast
Asia should brace up their man-
ufacturing base to land compa-
nies looking to exit China. This
would strengthen domestic man-
ufacturing units and help dis-
tressed countries in the process
of de-coupling from China.
To counter-action this dubi-
ous strategy
, India is working on
its Necklace of Diamonds strat-
egy, the International North-
South Transport Corridor (IN-
STC) and working towards se-
curing an open, free and rules-
based African Indo-Pacific. As
India has historical trade routes
with the Arabic and the East-
African region, and buttressing
its economic prowess, it tends to
secure and ensure prosperity in
both – the East and the West.

ODISHA TRAIN CRASH
l Driver error ruled

being probed: Officials
l Rly Minister Vaishnaw
says people behind
‘criminal’ act identified
l Normal train services

by Wednesday: Minister
HIGHLIGHTS
Balasore/New Delhi
(PTI): The Railways on
Sunday virtually ruled
out driver error and
system malfunction, in-
dicating a possible “sig-
nalling interference”
and hinting at “sabo-
tage” and tampering of
the electronic interlock-
ing system behind the
triple train accident
that claimed 275 lives.
Railway Minister
Ashwini Vaishnaw has
sought a CBI inquiry
into the accident. How-
ever, officials said the
inquiry by the commis-
sioner of railway safety
(CRS) would continue.
Vaishnaw said that
the “root cause” of the
accident and the people
responsible for the
“criminal act” have
been identified.
“It happened due to a
change made in the elec-
tronic interlocking and
point machine,” he told
reporters at the site of
Friday’s accident in Bal-
asore district. More on P6

“ELECTRONIC
INTERLOCKING
BEHIND ACCIDENT”
123 TRAINS
CANCELLED,
56 DIVERTED
Balasore: Railway Minister
Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday
said the tragic train accident
in Balasore occurred due to a
“change in electronic interlock-
ing”. Electronic interlocking
is an arrangement of signal
apparatus that prevents con-
flicting movements between
trains through an arrange-
ment of tracks. It is basically
a safety measure to prevent
signals from being changed in
improper sequence.
New Delhi (PTI): The
railways has cancelled
123 trains, diverted 56,
short-terminated 10 and
rescheduled 14 trains
due to the accident in
Odisha in which 275
people were killed. These
trains include those with
journey commencing
from June 3 to June
7. The cancelled trains
include Sealdah-Puri Du-
ronto, Howrah-Chennai
Mail, Kanyakumari-How-
rah Express, Shalimar
Express, Tirupati Weekly
Superfast Express, SM-
VT-Bengaluru Superfast
Express, Santraganchi
AC Superfast, Purulia-
Villupuram.
This is a different issue. It is about point
machine, electronic interlocking. The change
that occurred during electronic interlocking,
the accident happened due to that. Whoever did it and
how it happened will be found out after proper investi-
gation. —Ashwini Vaihsnaw, Railway Minister

“Due to change in electronic interlocking”
RAILWAYS EXPLAINS BALASORE TRAIN CRASH
New Delhi (Agencies):
The Railway Board on
Sunday detailed the
events leading to the
catastrophic triple train
accidentinOdisha'sBal-
asore on Friday night
that killed at least 275
peopleandleftover1,000
injured. Railways Min-
ister Ahswini Vaishnaw
has said the accident
was caused due to an is-
sue with the electronic
interlocking system.
The Bahanaga Bazar
station in Balasore,
wherethehorrificcrash
took place, is a four-line
station, the railways ex-
plained, adding that
there are two main lines
in the middle and two
loop lines on either side.
There were goods trains
loaded with iron ore on
both the loop lines, Jaya
Verma Sinha, Member,
Operations  BD, Rail-
way Board, said. She
repeatedly stressed that
only one train, the Co-
romandel Express, and
not three, as has been
allegedly speculated,
suffered an accident.
For some reason,
that train met with an
accident, and the en-
gine and coach went
over it, she said. It
crashed into a goods
train full of iron ore sta-
tioned on one of the
loop lines, she ex-
plained, claiming that
the goods train ab-
sorbed all the shock of
the crash as it was very
heavy. Coaches of the
Coromandel Express
got thrown off into the
third track and rammed
into a couple of coaches
of the train approach-
ing at high speed from
Howrah, Sinha said.
The railways has said
that Kavach, the indig-
enously developed auto-
matic train protection
system, was not availa-
ble on the route where
the accident occurred.
Sinha, dismissing
West Bengal CM Mama-
ta Banerjee's question
on the absence of Ka-
vach, reiterated the
Railways Minister's as-
sertion that the crash
had nothing to do with
Kavach as it wouldn't
have been helpful in
averting such an acci-
dent. No technology in
the world can avert
some accidents, she
said, citing examples of
boulders suddenly
dropping in front of ve-
hicles as an example.

LAST YEAR’S AUDIT
REPORT FLAGGED SERIOUS
CONCERNS ON RAIL SAFETY
New Delhi: Critics pointed to an audit
report of the railways tabled in the Par-
liament last year, which flagged several
serious lapses in rail safety. The Rail-
way Board has detailed the sequence
of events leading to the crash. The
Comptroller and Auditor General, in a
2022 report on derailments in Indian
Railways sought to find out whether
measures to prevent derailments and
collisions were clearly laid down and
implemented by the rail ministry.

Balasore district. Two key officials of
the Railway Board - Principal Exec-
utive Director of Signalling Sandeep
Mathur and Member of Operation

On-leave NDRF jawan emerges as
unsung hero in Odisha train tragedy
Bhubaneswar (PTI):
An on-leave NDRF

sha’s Balasore before he

forts, officials said.

sponse Force (NDRF)
jawan Venkatesh NK

ling from Howrah in

his senior inspector in
the battalion to inform
him about the accident.
He then sent some
pictures and the “live
location” of the site on
WhatsApp to the NDRF
control room, and this
was used by the first
rescue teams to reach
the spot, they said.

orld Environment Day
(WED) is an annual
event celebrated on
June 5 to promote en-
vironmental aware-
ness and encourage
global action for the
protection and preservation of
our planet. Established by the
United Nations (UN) in 1974,
this significant observance
serves as a reminder of our col-
lective responsibility to safe-
guard the environment for pre-
sent and future generations.
World Environment Day offers
an opportunity to reflect on the
state of our planet and inspire
positive change at individual,
community
, and global levels.
Each year, World Envi-
ronment Day revolves
around a specific theme
to focus attention on a
par ticular
environmen-
tal concern.
The theme for
World Environment Day
2023 is Ecosystem Res-
toration.
It highlights the urgent
need to repair, revive, and
restore ecosystems around the
world to address environmen-
tal challenges such as biodiver-
sity loss, climate change,
pollution, and land degrada-
tion. The theme emphasizes
the critical role of healthy
ecosystems in sustaining life
and promoting sustainable
development.
World Environment Day
plays a vital role in raising
awareness about environmen-
tal issues and their impact on
the planet and human well-be-
ing. It serves as a platform for
individuals, organizations, and
governments to come together
and take action towards creat-
ing a sustainable and eco-
friendly future. The day offers
an opportunity to engage in
activities that promote envi-
ronmental conservation, such
as tree planting, clean-up cam-
paigns, educational initiatives,
and policy advocacy
.
World Environment Day has
a significant global impact as it
encourages countries to col-
laborate and exchange ideas,
experiences, and best practices
in environmental manage-
ment. The UN Environment
Programme (UNEP) leads the
celebrations, working with
various stakeholders, includ-
ing governments, non-govern-
mental organizations, commu-
nities, and individuals. By fos-
tering international coopera-
tion and mobilizing resources,
World Environment Day helps
address global environmental
challenges more effectively
.
While governments and or-
ganizations play a crucial role
in addressing environmental
issues, individual actions also
have a profound impact.
World Environment Day en-
courages individuals
to make sustainable
choices in their dai-
ly lives, such as
reducing waste,
conserving water
and energy, using
eco-friendly trans-
portation, and sup-
porting local and or-
ganic products. Small ac-
tions, when combined, can
create a significant positive
impact on the environment.
World Environment Day
serves as a powerful reminder
of the importance of environ-
mental conservation and the
need for collective action. It
urges individuals, communi-
ties, and governments to work
together in addressing environ-
mental challenges and promot-
ing sustainable development.
By fostering global awareness
and encouraging concrete ac-
tions, World Environment Day
paves the way for a greener,
healthier, and more sustainable
future for all. Let us seize this
opportunity to make a positive
difference and protect our plan-
et for generations to come.

Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar SPIRITUAL SPEAK Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable. —Bhagavad Gita TOP TWEETS The recently culminated exercise, co-hosted by the Republic of Singapore Navy and the Indian Navy, aims to promote maritime cooperation and enhance trust, mong ASEAN and Indian navies. Successfully conducted in two phases, the Harbour phase and the Sea Phase, allowing participating navies to develop closer links in coordination and execution of operations CHINESE CHECKERS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA ndia conducted the first-ever ASEAN-India maritime exer- cise (AIME-23) and it was a pleasant site until the move- ment of the boats deployed by the maritime militia operating under the Chinese People’s Lib- eration Army Navy (PLAN) sailed in close proximity. The Chinese vessels kept an eye on the ongoing drill, which was held around the Exclusive Eco- nomic Zone (EEZ) of Vietnam in the South China Sea. As a new cold war is brewing in the South China Sea and is likely to spread to the larger Indo-Pacific, the Indian Navy along with like-minded navies of the South East Asian region conducts joint maritime exer- cises. In the Indo-Pacific, China stretches its footprint to cover the small island nations in the South Pacific as well as other countries’ EEZs dotting the re- gion, creation and unlawful claiming of artificial islands such as the Spratly and Parcel are well-known facts. Spying and Listening ports of Coco Is- lands leased out from Myanmar in the Bay of Bengal and dock- ing its spy vessel Yuan Wang-5 at the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka are all features of PLAs larger ambition of snooping on India’s activities in order to checkmate her moves, especial- ly in the maritime domain. India’s stepping up its mili- tary drills and wartime prepar- edness exercises with various like-minded countries and groups amid Chinese belliger- ence. Similar war exercises are taking place in the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea, and elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific and East Africa. Marching for- ward, there would be joint exer- cises in the South Pacific and the East China Sea as well. The recently culminated exer- cise, co-hosted by the Republic of Singapore Navy and the Indian Navy , aims to promote maritime cooperation and enhance trust, friendship, and confidence among ASEAN and Indian na- vies. Successfully conducted in two phases, the Harbour phase and the Sea Phase, allowing par- ticipatingnaviestodevelopcloser links in the coordination and ex- ecution of operations in the mar- itime domain. INS Delhi and INS Satpura and a P81 Maritime Pa- trol aircraft participated in this exercise,reinforcingIndia’scom- mitment to the “Act East” policy to ensure SAGAR “Security and Growth for all in the Region”. The Chinese Politburo claims the South China Sea governed by the ancient nine-dash lines as a historical trading route under the Chinese territory. Hence, it believes this region which is a treasure trove for at least six other sovereign states, namely, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam and the semi-autonomous state - Taiwan to be sovereign territorial wa- ters of China. Based on these unethical claims, the dragon continues flexing its muscles and advances in this region. At this juncture, China be- lieves that the South China Sea is an important piece of the larger China-centric jigsaw puz- zle or China-dominated world order. For instance, China chose Indonesia to launch its multi- billion-dollar maritime silk- road economic belt under the Border and Road Initiative (BRI). In its strategy, Beijing seeks to influence critical global supply chains, diverting the flow of international trade via critical sea lanes, railway lines and seaports. Having access to seaports, railway lines, power stations and inter-regional high- ways in the South China Sea and surrounding regions increases China’s strategic, economic and political reach. Much of this as- sistance is through loaning the assets to Chinese investors at petite interest rates and creat- ing huge debts for the countries not just in the neighbouring re- gions but in East Africa as well as other South Asia and East Asian regions. Most countries are aware of the functioning of the Politburo and the Commu- nist Party and how they tend to first make or offer heavy invest- ments in the name of infrastruc- ture, development and connec- tivity and later due to non-re- payment of large loans leads to debt creation and this strategy known as the “Debt Trap Poli- cy”. However, the smaller and economically strapped states fall prey to this strategy . With stepping up as the com- prehensive strategic partner of ASEAN, holding its first joint maritime exercise, Indian Chief of Defence Staff attending this month’s Indo-Pacific meeting in theU.S.Allenvisageabiggerrole inassistingneighbouringemerg- ing economies by providing mar- itime security support, coast guard patrol boats, domestically produced equipment, and other infrastructure cooperation is aiming for changing the modus vivendi in the larger Indo-Pacific region. Additionally , India, Indo- nesia,andVietnaminSouthEast Asia should brace up their man- ufacturing base to land compa- nies looking to exit China. This would strengthen domestic man- ufacturing units and help dis- tressed countries in the process of de-coupling from China. To counter-action this dubi- ous strategy , India is working on its Necklace of Diamonds strat- egy, the International North- South Transport Corridor (IN- STC) and working towards se- curing an open, free and rules- based African Indo-Pacific. As India has historical trade routes with the Arabic and the East- African region, and buttressing its economic prowess, it tends to secure and ensure prosperity in both – the East and the West.

Railways Min- ister Ahswini Vaishnaw has said the accident was caused due to an is- sue with the electronic interlocking system. The Bahanaga Bazar station in Balasore, wherethehorrificcrash took place, is a four-line station, the railways ex- plained, adding that there are two main lines in the middle and two loop lines on either side. There were goods trains loaded with iron ore on both the loop lines, Jaya Verma Sinha, Member, Operations BD, Rail- way Board, said. She repeatedly stressed that only one train, the Co- romandel Express, and not three, as has been allegedly speculated, suffered an accident. For some reason, that train met with an accident, and the en- gine and coach went over it, she said. It crashed into a goods train full of iron ore sta- tioned on one of the loop lines, she ex- plained, claiming that the goods train ab- sorbed all the shock of the crash as it was very heavy. Coaches of the Coromandel Express got thrown off into the third track and rammed into a couple of coaches of the train approach- ing at high speed from Howrah, Sinha said. The railways has said that Kavach, the indig- enously developed auto- matic train protection system, was not availa- ble on the route where the accident occurred. Sinha, dismissing West Bengal CM Mama- ta Banerjee's question on the absence of Ka- vach, reiterated the Railways Minister's as- sertion that the crash had nothing to do with Kavach as it wouldn't have been helpful in averting such an acci- dent. No technology in the world can avert some accidents, she said, citing examples of boulders suddenly dropping in front of ve- hicles as an example. Jaya Verma Sinha LAST YEAR’S AUDIT REPORT FLAGGED SERIOUS CONCERNS ON RAIL SAFETY New Delhi: Critics pointed to an audit report of the railways tabled in the Par- liament last year, which flagged several serious lapses in rail safety.

On-leave NDRF jawan emerges as unsung hero in Odisha train tragedy Bhubaneswar (PTI): An on-leave NDRF jawan travelling on the Coromandel Express was perhaps the first person to alert emergen- cy services about the train’s accident in Odi- sha’s Balasore before he joined initial rescue ef- forts, officials said.

World Environment Day offers an opportunity to reflect on the state of our planet and inspire positive change at individual, community , and global levels. Each year, World Envi- ronment Day revolves around a specific theme to focus attention on a par ticular environmen- tal concern. The theme for World Environment Day 2023 is Ecosystem Res- toration. It highlights the urgent need to repair, revive, and restore ecosystems around the world to address environmen- tal challenges such as biodiver- sity loss, climate change, pollution, and land degrada- tion.
