Air Algerie plane Boeing MD-83 went missing over Mali

Air Algerie plane Boeing MD-83 went missing over Gao in Mali in Africa on 24 July 2014. The plane was carrying 119 passengers, mostly French and Spanish nationals, from Burkina Faso to Algiers. The plane had taken off from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.

The airplane was a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 leased from Spanish company Swiftair.

Past air accidents in Algeria

In February 2014, one of Algeria's worst air disasters, a C-130 military aircraft carrying 78 people crashed in poor weather in the mountainous northeast, killing more than 70 people. The plane was flying from the desert garrison town of Tamanrasset in Algeria to Constantine.

In March 2003, an Air Algerie passenger plane crashed on takeoff from Tamanrasset after one of its engines caught fire. This was the worst ever air disaster in country's aviation history in which all but one of 103 people on board were killed.

Comment

The missing of Air Algeie happened one and a half month after the Malaysian airplane MH370 went missing with all passengers on board in the Indian Ocean in June 2014. Also the incident happened one week after the Malaysia airplane MH-17 crashed in the eastern Ukraine killing 298 passengers on board on 17 July 2014. These three incidents in a gap of one and a half month have sent jitters among the major airlines of the world.

Wreckage of Algerian plane found

Wreckage of an Algerian plane carrying 116 people that is believed to have gone down in Mali on 24th July has been found, President Ibrahim Boubakar Keita said.

Keita told journalists at the presidential palace in Bamako that wreckage had been located between Kidal and Tessalit in the far north of the country.

Cabinet approved 49% FDI in insurance through FIPB route

The Cabinet on 24th July approved 49% foreign investment in insurance companies through the FIPB route ensuring management control in the hands of Indian promoters.

"The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved raising of FDI cap in insurance sector to 49% from 26%," sources said after a meeting of the CCEA, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

With the Cabinet approving the amendments to the long pending Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, it will now be taken up by Parliament.

In his budget speech, finance minister Arun Jaitley had said that the insurance sector is investment starved and there is a need to increase the composite cap in the sector to 49%, with full Indian management and control, through the FIPB route.

The move would help insurance firms to get much needed capital from overseas partners.

The proposal to raise FDI cap has been pending since 2008 when the previous UPA government introduced the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill to hike foreign holding in insurance joint ventures to 49% from the existing 26%.

However, the bill could not be taken up in the Rajya Sabha because of opposition from several political parties, including the BJP. The insurance sector was opened up for private sector in 2000 after the enactment of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 (IRDA Act, 1999).

This Act permitted foreign shareholding in insurance companies to the extent of 26% with an aim to provide better insurance coverage and to augment the flow of long term resources for financing infrastructure.

The industry has been demanding for long to increase the FDI limit for adequate funds for expansion of the sector.

Sanjita and Saikhom Mirabai Chanu opened India's campaign on a flying note by winning a gold and silver respectively in women's 48kg before Dey and Ganesh Mali bagged with first and third position in men's 56kg to cap a remarkable day for the Indians at the Clyde Auditorium. 

The 25-year-old Dey lifted a total of 248kg (109+139) after trailing at the halfway snatch stage, but came back strongly in clean and jerk to win the gold. He had also won a silver in the 2010 Delhi CWG besides bagging a gold in the 2013 Commonwealth Championships in November last year. 

21-year-old Mali was leading after snatch but slipped behind in clean and jerk to settle for bronze with a total lift of 244kg (111+133). Malaysia's Mohd Pisol Zulheimi was at fourth after snatch but recovered in fine fashion to bag the silver with a total lift of 245kg (108+137). 

Zulheimi and another Malaysian, Mohd Faizal Baharom, gave a tough competition to Dey and Mali from the beginning but the Indians had the support in their side with a seizable crowd rooting for them with the tri-colour in their hands.

Union Government proposed to set up three Low Cost Airports for Bihar

Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, G.M. Siddeshwara on 22 July 2014 proposed to set up three new low-cost airports in Bihar at Muzaffarpur, Raxaul and Gaya. While Gaya will is an operational custom airport, Raxaul will be a non-operational airport.

The development of airports would depends upon availability of land, availability of mandatory clearances, environmental clearances, traffic projections, and provision of support services by the State Government. The support services include access road to the airport, water supply, power supply, services of State Police and State Fire Staff.

Besides, the Ministry of Aviation also decided to develop Kolhapur airport as a small airport among 50 locations identified across the country. The Ministry also recognized the proposed greenfield airport of Solapur in the same category.

The identification of 50 locations across the country for the development of small airports is being considered as a good move towards pending development of the airports. These airports will be constructed in the tourism circuit or backward areas where connectivity needs to be boosted.

Earlier in the fourth week of July 2014, the Ministry also approved for six new airlines. These are Air One Aviation Private Limited, Zexus Air and Premier Air that eventually want to become national airlines. In addition, Turbo Megha, Air Carnival and Zav Airways that want to operate as regional airlines.

Comment

The unveiling of these steps by the Aviation Ministry can be seen as revival of regional airline policy but the means of achieving it are falling short of expectations. This is because there is still no DGCA-approved blueprint for no-frills airports, and building these small airports could cost anywhere northwards of 70-80 crore rupees, setting up 50 such airports is no easy task.

Also because of myriad issues and lack of encouragement from respective state governments, the regional airline policy has not been able to take off in the manner envisioned.

Furthermore, instead of tying up loose ends and ensuring that these small airports and airlines are viable, the ministry seems to have shown undue haste in clearing such proposals. The government has paid enough lip service in recent weeks on creating airport infrastructure, boosting regional connectivity and enhancing competition among existing airlines. It has been speaking of setting up hundreds of no-frills airports in Tier II and Tier III towns, offering incentives for regional airline startups and getting jet fuel taxation down. However, until the groundwork is done in terms of policy formulation and infrastructure, it is unlikely these plans will take-off anytime soon.

India voted in favour of the UNHRC resolution on Israel's offensive in Gaza

India on 23 July 2014 voted in favour of United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution for a probe on Israel's offensive in Gaza.

The resolution titled Ensuring Respect for international law in The Occupied Palestinian Territories, including East Jersusalem saw 29 countries voting in favour of resolution while 17 countries including European countries abstained from the voting. In the 47-member UNHRC the US was the only nation to vote against the resolution.

Main highlights of the UNHRC resolution

• The Council strongly condemned the failure of Israel to end its prolonged occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem
• It also condemned all violence against civilians wherever it occurs, including the killing of two Israeli civilians
• It also called for an end to attacks against all civilians, including Israeli civilians
• It demanded Israel to immediately and fully end its illegal closure of the occupied Gaza Strip
• It called upon the international community to provide urgently needed humanitarian assistance and services to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip
• It expresses deep concern at the condition of Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Israeli jails and detention centres.
• It also recommended the Government of Switzerland to promptly reconvene the conference of High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention.

In the meanwhile, on the 16th day of ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, around 680 Palestinians and 31 Israelis have been killed. Neither Israelis nor Hamas are backing down despite several attempts at truce including the one brokered by Egypt.

Commentary/Analysis

In the days leading up to UNHRC resolution, India went for many flip-flops on the Gaza issue. During the 6th BRICS Summit, India partnered with other BRICS countries to censure Israel. Then in the third week of July 2014, Union Government after resisting the demands of Opposition to debate the Gaza issue in the Parliament, it gave in to the demand of Opposition and voted in favour of Palestine in the Parliament.

The stand of India in UNHRC has been termed by foreign policy hawks as a monumental blunder. According to them, this indicates a major shift in India's earlier stance as it contradicts the carefully neutral stance India has maintained during the course of the Gaza offensive.

But, the flip-flop shown by India indicates that Indian foreign policy still lacks certainty on the issue of Israel-Palestine conflict. As Hindustan Times columnist Abhijit Majumder tweeted, "In Rio, Modi signs BRICS censure of Israel. In Delhi, his govt blocks #Gaza debate. At UNHRC, India votes Palestine. Abki baar, decide yaar."

The Israel-Gaza Conflict

The Gaza–Israel conflict, taking place in the region of the Gaza Strip and southern Israel, is a part of the long-term Israeli–Palestinian conflict. It began in the summer of 2006 following the control of Gaza Strip by Hamas after an overwhelming election result in favour of Hamas in 2005.

The conflict escalated with the split of the Palestinian Authority to Fatah government in the West Bank and the Hamas Government in Gaza and the following violent ousting of Fatah. Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel and Israel's blockade of Gaza have exacerbated the conflict.

The recent Israel-Gaza conflict started with the kidnapping of three young Israeli settlers in West Bank in June 2014. This led to rampaging by Israel provoking Hamas to fire rockets on 30 June 2014, for the first time since the November 2012 ceasefire.

Since the launch of Operation Protective Edge by Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza, more than 680 peoples including Palestine and Israelis have lost their lives. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay termed the offensive as committing war crime.
