<p>The 400-hour Uttarakhand tunnel rescue operation in India ended with emotional tears and smiles, as the 41 workers – who were trapped in the Silkyara tunnel – emerged alive and safe from the dark hole.</p>

<p>But the first ones to greet these trapped but hopeful workers were the rat-hole miners who had been drilling for long with their hands with the aim of safely evacuating the trapped workers from the tunnel.</p>

<p>The miners only had smiles on their faces once the workers emerged and all their exhaustion from digging the tunnel was overpowered by their happiness.</p>

<p>"The workers were so happy seeing us. They hugged us and offered us almonds," said one of the miners, Devendra, while speaking to NDTV. "We cut 15 metres. We were very happy when we reached there and got a glimpse of them," said another miner.</p>

<p>Expressing the happiness of success achieved in the rescue operation, one of the SDRF workers said to news agency ANI, "It is a big day for us today. All the workers have finally been rescued successfully. It was a very difficult operation. All the trapped workers are healthy and safe."</p>

<p>The banned practice of rat-hole mining was adopted by the rescuers after an imported, high-tech drilling machine stopped working in the last leg of the operation. Then, the miners started manually drilling their way towards the trapped workers.</p>

<p>"They worked very hard. We were convinced that we must rescue the trapped workers. This was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. They worked 24 hours non-stop to bring them out," the team leader said, as reported by NDTV.</p>

<p>Speaking about the role of the rat-hole miners, Uttarakhand Chief Minister in a press conference said, "Machines kept getting busted, but I want to thank the manual miners. I even met the workers who were trapped. They said they faced no problem inside the tunnel.”</p>

<p>When National Disaster Management Authority's Lt General Syed Ata Hasnain (Retired) was questioned regarding resorting to the illegal technique of rat-hole mining in a press conference, he said, "The rat-hole mining may be illegal but a rat-hole miner's talent and experience is being used.”</p>

Uttarakhand tunnel rescue: Rat-hole miners emerge as 'real heroes', save lives with outlawed technique

<p>Placing the onus for his protection on the Biden administration, Sikhs for Justice chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who has been designated as a terrorist in India, alleged that the Indian government wants to kill him because he is running the global Khalistan referendum voting campaign.</p>

<p>“It is a challenge to American sovereignty. It is a threat to freedom of speech and democracy in America itself. But I will let US authorities speak more on this,” Pannun said, in an interview to TIME.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The United States had last week shared with India inputs related to the nexus between terrorists, gun runners and organised criminals which relevant departments were examining after it was reported by the Financial Times that a plot to kill Pannun on US soil was thwarted by American authorities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking about whether he has angered Indian officials by warning Sikhs not to fly on Air India since it would be “life-threatening”, Pannun in the interview said, "I was saying ‘boycott’ Air India, but the whole Indian narrative shifted to ‘bomb’ Air India. Somebody has to be a zombie to not differentiate between boycotting and bombing.”</p>

<p>Earlier this month, Pannun had faced charges of terrorism and conspiracy charges for posting the video through which he threatened people against boarding Air India.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>‘They cannot afford me to be alive’</strong></h2>

<p>In the interview with TIME, Pannun said, “So they cannot afford for me to be alive as I have achieved a narrative. I'm able to educate, and peacefully and democratically challenge India's narrative of terror and terrorism. There are reports from Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the US Department of State in 1994, and other agencies about what transpired between 1984 to 1995. But we haven’t had a peaceful and democratic resolution to the contentious issue that has never been asked since 1950: should Punjab be an independent country? It was never asked of the people of Punjab in 1947, nor has it ever been put up on a ballot.”</p>

<p>Speaking about the intelligence reports that suggested Biden holding a discussion with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the G20 Summit about potential role of India in an assassination plot which was targeting him, Pannun said, “I will say that on this particular question, and this is my official statement, the Indian government and the Modi regime want to kill me, they want to eliminate me for running the global Khalistan referendum voting campaign."<br />

“I have seen how the Indian government wanted to eliminate civil disobedience during Operation Blue Star. So I decided I was going to use international laws to hold individuals accountable," he said.</p>

<p>The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday (Nov 28) rejected a plea which sought a complete ban on the performance or working of artists from Pakistan in the country, and appealed to the petitioner to not be “so narrow-minded”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A bench of justices comprising SVN Bhatti and Sanjiv Khanna said that they were not inclined to interfere with the order of the Bombay High Court which had junked the plea filed by Faaiz Anwar Qureshi, who claimed that he was an artiste and a cine worker.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You should not press this appeal. Do not be so narrow-minded," stated the bench. Supreme Court further refused the submission of the plea to expunge some remarks which were made against the petitioner by the high court.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The petitioner had sought the direction of the court for the central government to impose a complete ban on companies, Indian citizens, associations and firms from soliciting or employing any work or performance, entering into any association, or taking any services and so on with any Pakistani artist like musicians, singers, cine workers, technicians and lyricists.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The petition was dismissed by the Bombay High Court which stated that the measures being sought by the petitioner were a retrograde step in the promotion of peace, unity and cultural harmony, and there is no merit in it. "One must understand that in order to be a patriot, one need not be inimical to those from abroad especially, from the neighbouring country," the court stated.</p>

<p>"A true patriot is a person who is selfless, who is devoted to the cause of his country, which he cannot be unless he is a person who is good at heart.

<p>In its order, the high court had stated that music, arts, sports, dance, culture and so on are the kinds of activities which are above cultures, nationalities and nations, and these events bring unity, harmony, tranquility and peace in the country and between countries. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The high court stated how Pakistan was a participant in the Cricket World Cup. He added that this occurred because the Indian government took appreciable positive steps in the interest of harmony and overall peace in consonance with Article 51 of the Constitution of India which is regarding the promotion of international security and peace.</p>

<p>Outrage and anger have spread across Italy after a university girl student was killed allegedly by her former boyfriend which has brought the spotlight on violence against women in a country where one woman on average gets killed every three days.<br />
<br />
The dead body of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin, who was an engineering student, was found in a ditch near a lake north of Venice days before her slated graduation ceremony.<br />
<br />
The body was&nbsp;wrapped in plastic and the victim had reportedly been stabbed multiple times. The body was discovered after a week-long search was conducted, which kept the country gripped. Before her disappearance, her former partner, Filippo Turetta was captured hitting her in roadside cameras, as per report.</p>

<h2><strong>Turetta shifted to prison in Verona</strong></h2>

<p>On Saturday morning (Nov 25), Turetta landed at Venice airport and was to be transferred to a prison located in the northern city of Verona where he was to be interrogated as part of the investigation, as per the Italian media.<br />
<br />
As per the report, Cecchettin’s friends claimed that her decision to end the relationship was not accepted by the&nbsp;family of Turetta. These claims rattled many people across the country.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, which was also the International Day For the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the protesters are likely to hit the streets in high numbers across Italy to mark Cecchettin’s killing. This will add to the number of vigils and rallies held to honour her memory in recent days.</p>
