India on Wednesday slammed China after it blocked a proposal in the UN to label Pakistan based 26 Mumbai attacks masterminds Sarjit Meir as global terrorist. In a sharp worded statement, India said despite Meir being a prescribed terrorist under laws of India and the US, when the proposal to designate him as global terrorist doesn't get through, India has the rightest reasons to believe that something is genuinely wrong with the global counter terrorism architecture. Earlier in September, Beijing and all weather ally of Pakistan had put a hold on proposal against Sarjit Meir that would subject him to an asset's freeze, travel ban and arms embargo. In the past, China, a veto wielding permanent member of the Security Council has blocked several proposals against Pakistan based terrorists. But when the proposal for listing him did not go through the Security Council sanctions regime, we had strong reasons to believe that something was genuinely wrong in the global sanctions regime as manifested in the Security Council. If we cannot get established terrorists who have been prescribed across global landscapes listed under the Security Council architecture for pure geopolitical interests, then we really do not have the genuine political will needed to sincerely fight this challenge of war.

In today's world of video calls, instant messaging and mobile phones, the police department in India's Odisha state is preserving a relic from the past, the carrier pigeons. In the non-descript building in Kuttak, more than 100 Belgian homing pigeons are being reared and trained to carry messages just in case all known forms of communications fail. Messages are written on very light onion paper and inserted into a copper or plastic capsule then tied to the pigeons leg before their release. This is the pigeon carrier service. We have it since 1946 and this service was basically used for communicating from one station to another station. Now we have kept it as a heritage as a ceremonial thing. The birds proved to be a communication lifeline during the 1999 Odisha cyclone. One strained, their memory and accuracy in identifying roots and locations remains intact for years. They can fly up to 500 miles at a stretch depending on the weather. If tomorrow you want to revive it, they will be as effective as they were from the last 50 years. If tomorrow, say, you know, the chances are very less, you know, if every communication breaks down, the pigeons will never fail. That's all in tonight's edition. We will see you same time tomorrow.
