Inndian Navy finally Gets Access to strategic Agalega island in Mauritius

 Two outer islands of Mauritius located in the Indian Ocean

This base on Agalega will cement India's presence in the south-west Indian Ocean and facilitate its power projection aspirations in this region.

The small, remote Mauritian island of North Agalega, located in the south-western Indian Ocean, 1,122 kilometres north of Mauritius, is currently a hive of construction activity.



North Agalega Island is some 12 kilometres long and I .5 kilometres wide, with a total population of less than 300 people.




Until recently, it was virtually cut off from the world, with a rudimentary jetty and a small airfield barely fit for light aircraft.

Officially the Republic of Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres ( l ,200 mi) off the southeast coast of the African continent

12.7 lakhsThe capital and largest city, Port Louis, is located on Mauritius, where most of the population is concentrated.

India sought access to the islands in 2015 to develop as an ir and naval suging point for surveillance of the south-west

Indan Ocean,

Satellite imagery shows major airfield and port developments are well underway. reportedly worth some US$87 million.

The most recent images from Google Earth to the same location as seen in

2014 shows a new 3000-metre runway — capable of hosting the Indian Navy's new Boetng P-81 maritime patrol aircraft — and considerable apron overshadows the existing airfield in the middle Of the island.

India's Ministry of External Affairs stated the agreement with Mauritius inked in 2015 would "go a long way in ameliorating the conditions of the inhabitants of this remote island" - while also enabling Mauritian Defence Force operations. India had also hoped for a similar arrangement in the Seychelles.

This facility in Mauritius will provide an important staging point for India's new

Boeing P-8 Poseidon fleet, which recently conducted its first joint patrol with France from nearby Réunion.

Indian Ocean, articulated as Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR). Under SAGAR, New Delhi aims to work together with Indian Ocean regional governments to "engineer virtuous cycles of cooperation".


हिंद महासागर में स्थित मॉरीशस के दो बाहरी द्वीप

अगालेगा पर यह आधार दक्षिण-पश्चिम हिंद महासागर में भारत की उपस्थिति को मजबूत करेगा और इस क्षेत्र में अपनी शक्ति प्रक्षेपण आकांक्षाओं को सुविधाजनक बनाएगा।

मॉरीशस के 1,122 किलोमीटर उत्तर में दक्षिण-पश्चिमी हिंद महासागर में स्थित उत्तरी अगलेगा का छोटा, दूरस्थ मॉरीशस द्वीप वर्तमान में निर्माण गतिविधि का एक छत्ता है।

 उत्तर अगालेगा द्वीप कुछ 12 किलोमीटर लंबा और I .5 किलोमीटर चौड़ा है, जिसकी कुल आबादी 300 से कम लोगों की है।

 हाल ही में, यह दुनिया से लगभग कट गया था, एक अल्पविकसित जेट्टी के साथ और एक छोटा हवाई क्षेत्र हल्के विमानों के लिए मुश्किल से फिट था।

 आधिकारिक रूप से मॉरीशस गणराज्य, हिंद महासागर में एक महाद्वीप राष्ट्र है जो अफ्रीकी महाद्वीप के दक्षिण-पूर्वी तट से 2,000 किलोमीटर (l, 200 मील) दूर है।

12.7 लाख। राजधानी और सबसे बड़ा शहर, पोर्ट लुइस, मॉरीशस पर स्थित है, जहां अधिकांश आबादी केंद्रित है।

भारत ने दक्षिण-पश्चिम की निगरानी के लिए एक अनियमित और नौसैनिक सूजिंग बिंदु के रूप में विकसित करने के लिए 2015 में द्वीपों तक पहुंच की मांग की 

 सैटेलाइट इमेजरी से पता चलता है कि एयरफील्ड और पोर्ट डेवलपमेंट अच्छी तरह से चल रहे हैं।  कथित तौर पर कुछ US $ 87 मिलियन की कीमत है।

 2014 में एक नया 3000-मीटर का रनवे दिखाया गया है - जो भारतीय नौसेना के नए Boetng P-81 समुद्री गश्ती विमान की मेजबानी करने में सक्षम है - और द्वीप के मध्य में मौजूदा हवाई क्षेत्र को काफी एप्रन ओवरहेड करता है।

भारत के विदेश मंत्रालय ने कहा कि मॉरीशस के साथ 2015 में हुआ समझौता "इस दूरस्थ द्वीप के निवासियों की स्थितियों को सुधारने में एक लंबा रास्ता तय करेगा" - जबकि मॉरीशस रक्षा बल के संचालन को भी सक्षम बनाता है।  भारत ने भी सेशेल्स में इसी तरह की व्यवस्था की उम्मीद की थी।

 Thanksमॉरीशस में यह सुविधा भारत के नए के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण मंच प्रदान करेगी

यह विकास मोदी की 2016 की दूरदृष्टि का प्रकटीकरण है

हिंद महासागर, सभी क्षेत्र (SAGAR) में सुरक्षा और विकास के रूप में व्यक्त किया गया।  SAGAR के तहत, नई दिल्ली का लक्ष्य हिंद महासागर क्षेत्रीय सरकारों के साथ "सहयोग के इंजीनियर पुण्य चक्र" के साथ काम करना है।

Mystery brain disease found in Canada

  WHAT HAS HAPPENED? An unknown brain disease has caused panic in the New Brunswick province of Canada after a string of cases were reported that involved memory loss, hallucinations and muscle atrophy. People living in the province became cognizant of the disease after a memo from the province's public health agency leaked last week, Which asked doctors to look for symptoms relate to Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD).

ANDHRA PRADESH STRAIN 15 TIMES MORE VIRULENT

  Experts are saying that a new Andhra Pradesh variant of the SARS-COV-2 virus is at least 15 times more virulent than the earlier ones. May be even stronger than the Indian variants of B. 1.617 and B. 1.618 . Speculation is still on regarding whether it is a new strain or the old N440K. The N440K variant was first discovered by Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB).However, data is still insufficient to confirm anythin. The impact of AP Strain Authorities say that the variant at present which is in circulation in Visakhapatnam is different from what we have seen during the first wave last year. Samples have been sent to CCMB for analysis, in order to find out which strain is in circulation right now.It has been observed that the new variant has shorter incubation period and the progress of the disease is much rapid. In the earlier cases, a patient infected with the virus would take at least a week to reach the hypoxia or dyspnea stage. But in the present context,...
