Gorakhpur, Jun 11: If there is courage and determination, we can overcome the biggest obstacle.girlboard

Though Supriya is fighting with a disease that makes people tremble and lose confidence, she managed to score 81 percent marks in the 10th Boards exam.

Not only has she made her parents proud, but also has given thousands of people a message who get disappointed with life because of any difficulty - despite suffering from blood cancer.

Supriya has been suffering from blood cancer for the past three years and her parents, Digvijay Bharati and Rupa Devi, who lived near Jatpur Kali temple, have put millions of rupees in her treatment and now, they have nothing left with them.

Supriya learned to live her life and decided to become an inspiration for others.

She continued to study hard and achieved what she deserved - though, she was disappointed that she could not fulfill her father's dream of her being a topper.

Her parents are also to be congratulated, as they kept her motivated to defeat this disease.

Meanwhile, another wonder was seen in Muzaffarnagar where a girl secured second place in the district in 12th Boards exam by memorising and writing on the walls and doors of her house with stones due to financial disability in her family since her childhood.

Meenakshi Sharma studied under the street lights as there was no electricity as well.

Her father used to earn and raise the family through providing rickshaw service, but in the meantime, due to an illness, he died because of lack of treatment.

After the death of her father, the family lost all hopes.

"I was happy to secure 90.8 percent, but I missed my father. When my two English papers were left, my father expired. Despite my family's financial hardship, my mother supported me and never let me feel that we were financially unstable," Meenakshi said.

She added she wants to become a Professor in Chemistry as it is her favourite subject and she scored the maximum marks in it.

These girls have proved that daughters are no less than sons - a lesson the entire nation needs to learn.

Kozhikode, Aug 8: A tailwind or crosswind could be the reason for the Air India Express flight mishap at Kozhikode international airport in Kerala, according to some aviation experts. 

Team of DGCA and AIE already reached the spot. With the death of the captain and co-pilot in the mishap, the investigation would be focusing mainly on the voice recorders and other technical aspects.

It is learnt that the ill-fated aircraft, IX 1344 with 190 onboard including crew, was initially planning to land on runway-28 of the airport. But later the pilot opted runway-10 which is toward the other direction. Pilots would be taking the decisions on the basis of inputs from ATC.

The questions now doing the rounds are what made the pilot opt runway-10 and whether the tabletop runway lacked adequate safety parameters.

An aviation expert, who didn't want to be quoted, said that Capt Deepak Sathe, who was commandeering the aircraft, was a well-experienced pilot and was also familiar with the terrains. Hence the chances of any error from his part was very unlikely. Hence a fair in-depth probe was required to find the exact cause.

Though the Kozhikode airport has an Instrument Landing System, it was of category-I for which pilot's visibility is very crucial toward a touchdown. Since it is a tabletop airport and rough weather prevailing in the region, the chances of tailwind was also high, said sources.

There had been safety concerns about the airport over quite some time. In 2011 aviation safety consultant captain Mohan Ranganathan reportedly gave a report citing the safety issues, especially the buffer zones at the end of the runway.

However, an AAI officer said that rectification steps were already done by last year by widening the Runway End Safety Area (RESA) from 90 metre to 240 metre. However, the length of the runway had to be reduced to 2,700 metre from 2,850. The AAI was also constantly pressing for increasing the runway length to 3,150 metres. But that was getting delayed due to land acquisition issues pending with the state government.

The previous highest single day increase was on April 20 when 1,540 cases were reported.

The number of active COVID-19 cases stood at 17,915 as 4,813 people were cured and discharged, and one patient migrated, the ministry said.

Thus, about 20.52 per cent of the cases have recovered so far, an official of the ministry said. 

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said that 23,502 samples have been confirmed positive as on April 24 at 9 am.

The health ministry's figure of 23,452 cases include 77 foreign nationals.

A total of 37 deaths were reported since Thursday evening of which 14 fatalities were reported from Maharashtra, nine from Gujarat, three from Uttar Pradesh, two each from Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Telangana and one from Karnataka, the ministry's data stated.
