India to host 5th Coast Guard Global Summit in Chennai in 2027

India will host the 5th edition of the Coast Guard Global Summit (CGGS) in Chennai in 2027, coinciding with the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Indian Coast Guard (ICG), officials said on Saturday.

The decision was taken unanimously at the 4th CGGS held in Rome on September 11–12, which saw participation from delegates representing 115 countries and international organisations. The three-day Chennai meet will include an International Coast Guard Fleet Review and a World Coast Guard Seminar, aimed at providing a global platform to discuss emerging maritime challenges and strengthen international maritime cooperation.

Director General of the ICG Paramesh Sivamani, during the ceremonial handover of the CGGS presidency in Rome, stressed that no single nation can tackle the full spectrum of maritime threats alone. He said the Chennai summit will serve as an inclusive forum to enhance interoperability, build trust and deepen collaboration among Coast Guards worldwide.

The ICG chief also lauded the Italian Coast Guard for hosting the summit and thanked the Japan Coast Guard for its role as the CGGS Secretariat.

On the sidelines of the event, Sivamani held discussions with the Commandant of the Italian Coast Guard under the framework of the India–Italy Joint Strategic Action Plan (2025–2029). Both sides agreed to step up cooperation in maritime search and rescue, marine pollution response, environmental protection, tackling transnational maritime crimes, information exchange, capacity building, training and technical assistance.

Apple Watch hypertension feature wins FDA nod, rollout next week, Bloomberg reports

Apple will roll out a hypertension detection feature on its smartwatch next week after receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance on Thursday, Bloomberg News reported.
The company unveiled a blood pressure monitor in its latest Apple Watch at the September 9 event, where it also introduced a refreshed iPhone lineup, including a slimmer iPhone Air.

The feature, pending regulatory approval, will not detect every case of high blood pressure, but could alert about a million people, Apple said.

Available in 150 countries, the tool will use data from the watch’s optical heart sensor to track how a user’s blood vessels respond to heartbeats over 30 days, the report said, citing Apple.

The feature will be available on the Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, Series 11 and its more expensive Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 smartwatches, Bloomberg News said.

Lifeline of transformation: PM Modi inaugurates Mizoram’s Bairabi–Sairang railway line

Lifeline of transformation: PM Modi inaugurates Mizoram’s Bairabi–Sairang railway line

Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation and inaugurated multiple development projects worth over Rs 9,000 crore virtually in Mizoram on Saturday. He also inaugurated the 51.38-km Bairabi-Sairang railway project and three new trains.

As part of his two-day visit to the Northeast, PM Modi arrived in Aizawl on Saturday morning. However, he could not reach Lammual Ground in Aizawl from Lengpui Airport by helicopter due to heavy rain.

He flagged off three trains — Sairang-Anand Vihar (Delhi) Rajdhani Express (weekly), Kolkata-Sairang-Kolkata Express (tri-weekly) and Guwahati-Sairang-Guwahati Express (daily).

Addressing the large gathering virtually, PM Modi said, “Whether it is the freedom movement or nation building, the people of Mizoram have always come forward to contribute… Sacrifice and service, courage and compassion — these values are at the centre of Mizo society.”

“Today, Mizoram is playing an important role in India’s development journey. This is a historic day for the nation, particularly for the people of Mizoram. From today, Aizawl will be on India’s railway map. A few years ago, I had the opportunity of laying the foundation stone of the Aizawl railway line, and today, we proudly dedicate it to the people of the nation,” he added.

Highlighting the challenges in the difficult terrain of the Northeastern state, PM Modi said, “The skills of our engineers and the spirit of our workers made this possible.”

Stressing the importance of the railway connection, he said, “Our hearts have always been directly connected with each other, and now, for the first time, Sairang will be connected with Delhi by the Rajdhani Express. This is not just a railway connection, but it is a lifeline of transformation. It will revolutionise the lives and livelihoods of the people of Mizoram.”

He mentioned that after the commencement of this new rail network, farmers and businesses of Mizoram can reach more markets across the nation, and people will be able to access more options for education and healthcare, which he said, will also create more employment opportunities in tourism, transport and hospitality sectors.

The inauguration of the ambitious 51.38-km Bairabi-Sairang railway project will make Aizawl the fourth capital city in the Northeast to be connected by rail after Guwahati, Agartala and Itanagar.

In a major boost to road infrastructure, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of multiple road projects, including the Aizawl Bypass Road, Thenzawl–Sialsuk Road and Khankawn–Rongura Road.

It would reduce the travel time from southern districts to Aizawl by around 1.5 hours, significantly benefiting the people in the region.

The Khankawn–Rongura Road under NESIDS (Roads) in Serchhip District would provide better access to markets and benefit various horticulture farmers and other people in the region, while supporting the planned Ginger Processing Plant.

Furthering his vision of quality education for all, the Prime Minister would also inaugurate Eklavya Model Residential School at Tlangnuam. The school would improve enrollment, reduce dropout rates, and provide holistic education opportunities for tribal youth.
