Topic: Ramping up Research and Development of Medium Weight Fighter (MWF) and Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA)
Concerned Authorities: MoD, HAL, DRDO, ADA
Date: 16 March 2024

Ministry of Defense (MoD) have allocated an fund of ₹165,778,233,483 ($2,000,000,000) each to fast track the development of MWF and AMCA as Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft competition have failed to bring new aircrafts which have left the Indian Air Force under strength from its sanctioned strength. MoD have demanded that MWF be completed as quickly as possible as its prototype building stage is nearly completed and most avionics for it are already developed.

For AMCA, MoD have decided to compromise and have allowed AMCA to carry avionics from MWF as a temporary stop gap measure and then later on upgrade the aircraft with the new avionics it needs.

MoD have also decided to cut down on red tape to allow for a more efficient timeline and HAL, DRDO and ADA have increased work hours and higher pay for personnels working on these projects. These two projects are to run everyday except on Federal Holidays and non-essential personnels been granted leaves on Sundays.

Radio TH reporting once more.

In the international scene, nothing much has happened in the way of conflict or international incidents.

Domestic affairs however, are ever changing in ways that is unexpected to the state. The local president and vice president of the Malico province have been killed by armed suspects and have reportedly also killed 8 others in the immediate moments afterwards. The military police would be called in as the suspects seem to have military training along with some tactics used by the CSF, the special forces branch of the Croydonian military. This would weaken the support for the Federal Technocrats in the region in the upcoming elections and would also see the rise of the Federalists in the province, which has shot up overnight almost. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party of CFT would see a increase in support in the south western provinces as unfair tax laws are hurting the local economy of the region.

Economically, the state would start to introduce a new law on working conditions in some of the companies who've been investigated and would be found to violating several laws regarding working standards and underpayment of foreign employees. This new law would gice them a sort of warning. Meanwhile BioChems Inc., the 2nd largest pharmaceutical company in CFT, would announce that they've discovered that some of thier drugs would contain trace elements of a unknown element when they delivered some 200 packets to the Croydonian Moon base. The current price of gold is $1840,89¢/ounce , price of platinum-group metals is $327,90, aluminium $798,45, copper,brass,zinc at $865,02/kilogram, diamonds at $2,897,98/carat, quartz at $46,90/½kg coal at $764,89/kg and oil at $79,70/barrel. Current exchange rate to the dollar is $1 =CR 1,34¢

Technology would also see a great discovery. The Croydonian Moon Base, otherwise known as New Rosina, would see the discovery of rare earth-scarce metals in a apparently abundant area. The CCSA says that this could lead to greater self-sufficiency of New Rosina and a potential economic boost to the country's already large economy.

Post: Evacuating civilians within the state of Mefkat; governmental and critical infrastructure and services to remain operational
Nations: United States of Mesothallania
Date: Saturday, March 16, 2024 (irl Gregorian Calendar)

In a debated call, President Biden, with a majority of congressional support, has called for the evacuation of all Mesothallanian civilians living within thirty miles of the state of Mefkat’s borders. In a recent press release, President Biden stated: “The unstable situation in the Arab Jamahiriya State of Cobra Sahara is leading to a worrying future with unknown consequences. … The results of Cobra Sahara’s strikes towards Mefkat have now been apparent, with an estimate of thirty-one thousand dead and sixty-nine thousand wounded, with most of the successful strikes having hit the [irl] Gaza Strip area. … The evacuation is currently optional, but procedures are being set up to quick and efficient evacuation in the event of conflict spilling over into our borders and a mandatory evacuation is called for.”.

According to some polls conducted by NGOs operating within the region, “about one thirtieth of the dead/wounded identified as Jewish and the rest as Arab, but about eighty-seven percent maintained their Mesothallanian identity first”, and “though there may be some internal social struggles within the “Levantine” areas of Mefkat, most are upset at the blatant disrespect and disregard to human life and decency posed by the Cobra Saharan government against their people.” Some Arab-identifying groups have begun to rally against the hypocrisy of the Cobra Saharan government, citing that the Jamahiriya claimed to want a “free Palestine” but ended up targeting and killing “us” instead; there seems to be a growing support within the United States of Mesothallania for the Community of the Cobra Sahara Liberation Rebel Forces, but the federal government has refrained from showing any support.

Though the federal government has expressed the decrease in likelihood of the Cobra Saharan civil war spilling over into the United States has minimized in part thanks to the military mobilization of the Cobra Saharan military, the United States is still vigilant to dissuade the rebels from spilling into Mesothallanian lands. Therefore, the military has begun to construct barriers, roadblocks, barbed fences, checkpoints, observation posts, minefields, and other necessary developments along the borders of the state of Mefkat. Minelayers have been ordered to keep detailed records of exactly where they are laying mines so that their removal process after the conclusion of the Cobra Saharan civil war will be safer and more efficient.

Topic: Flood Control in East Bengal
Concerned Authorities: Government of East Bengal, Government of India, Indian Armed Forces
Date: 17 March 2024

With the South Asian Monsoon Season approaching, people of East Bengal again get ready for floods which will sweep away their homes and fields as most of the state is in flood plains.

Fortunately the Government of East Bengal wants to avoid such from happening since it has become apparent that floodings are only going to become worse as climate change takes its toll. Hence with the aid from the Federal Government, plans have been drawn up to conduct large scale building of Floodways, planting of vegetation to retain extra water, converting hill farms into terracing farms and tell farmers to switch to water intensive crops to use up more ground water to prevent floods as ground is able to take in more water.

The Government of East Bengal has also changed the building codes, now requiring every building to have a Rainwater Harvesting System in place.

Total cost for this endeavor is ₹6,631,132,000,000 ($80,000,000,000) of which 50% would be paid by the Federal Government. To quickly build the Floodways, Communities have been asked to volunteer to help the Government build the floodways in exchange for wages and also to save their homes and fields from the floods. Contractors have been hired to help and Indian Army's Corps of Engineers have also been deployed by the Federal Government to assist.

Singapore is a Union Territory of India which is located in the Malacca Strait. Despite housing 6 Million and a respectably large economy, it too, like Delhi, lacks statehood and has to deal with the Federal Government directly.

While it does have a Legislative Assembly like Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Puducherry and Bhutan, they can be overruled by the Federal Government. The Chief Ministers of these UTs don't have access to their Police Forces and Federal Ordinance can overrule existing laws.

It's not only the UTs who have been having problems, in States too, certain regions dominate the entire state, both politically and economically, leaving many regions and Millions of people behind while also using their tax money to develop the “richer regions”.

It's the CM of Singapore, Mon Ba Woenk of the People's Action Party who has decided that things need to change and hence called in a meeting with various political figures and activities in Singapore. These groups include small but known Frontier Nagaland advocates to the Chief Minister of Delhi.

The meeting goes on for 8 hours without any breaks or stoppages and various figures describe their situation and struggles. After the debate is over, a consensus is reached that all those called for the meeting will lay down demands before the Federal Government to:

1. Grant Statehood or Union Territory Status to various groups.
2. Bring in economic development to backwards regions so these new states can stand on their two own feet.
3. Simplify Government processes for efficiency.
Help combat security issues of some of these regions.
4. Grant some more decentralized powers to States and Districts.
5. Equal Representation in the Legislation.
6. Charge Political figures for misuse of taxpayer money for development only specific areas and using excessive force to suppress state movements.

It is planned that to make the Federal Government fulfill all the demands, a large march to New Delhi will be conducted. This coalition will be called ‘Voice of Equality’.

KHOIKHOIS MILITARY PERFORMS TRAINING EXERCISE IN PUBLIC EVENT

Yesterday (16), in a widely-televised public event attended by the President, Cristoph Martins, and the Minister of Defence, Juliana Herston, 200 soldiers of the Khoikhois Army performed a mock military exercise intended to simulate a battle in desert conditions. This resulted in the capture of the 200 mock enemy soldiers by the participating soldiers within eighty-seven minutes. This was done to show a commitment to preparing the Khoikhois Armed Forces's (KAF) land and largest branch for any future conflict in such conditions.

After the exercise, the President and Minister of Defence met with the participating soldiers, and the military commanders also in attendance, before giving speeches on the matter, in which they clarified this was a precautionary measure, support for strategic neutrality intended to prepare the Army for any future occurrence, as well as delivering praise for the Army, and putting forward the government's intention of growing the Army by 2,500 personnel by 2030.

It was previously explained by General Raymond "Ray" Hawkins, Commanding General of the Khoikhois Army, that it was not the Army's intention to make this an isolated event, but rather that the Army had been instructed to participate in such events for the foreseeable future. It is thought that the reasoning for this is an increasingly conflict-ridden global situation, and the Army's commitment to prevent a war from taking them on unexpectedly.

This had raised worry in the nation that the government was intending to send troops from Khoikhoia into other nations, which historically has been, and is, deeply unpopular and controversial, though both the President and Minister of Defence reassured the population that they did not think the government intended to do this in the speech he delivered after the exercise. This has, however, been accepted by most in the country, and the exercise has been considered to be a public success.

-----------------------------

"It is my belief that this is a precautionary measure, and the Khoikhois government harbours no intention of sending troops anywhere outside this country. It has been a successful, tried-and-tested policy that we have adopted for some three decades - strategic neutrality. We will never betray our allies, but never shall we provoke our enemies - we treat them with respect. Every country is made up of people, we must be careful not to demonise anyone. However, some regimes are less acceptable and less conforming to our principal values, which are of course Liberty, Equality, and Union. Those must be subject to greater care in the field of diplomacy and military preparation. These, I think, demonstrate precisely the necessity for such military exercises. I want to congratulate the brave defenders of the homeland again for their participation..."

The march started from Bhopal and quickly reached Delhi from Faridabad under 2 [irp] days, not accounting the 6 additional hours as the protesters got stuck in Delhi's traffic.

New Delhi's attention finally got caught as the protesters settled down around the Kartvya Path. While State Governments have made it clear that they will not entertain the ideas, in the end, the power of separating states lies with the Parliament of India.

Not wanting to look bad and possibly losing in state elections, the Prime Minister invited the leaders of the Voice for Equality and began talks and after hours, an agreement is reached that a Committee for State Reorganization will be formed and the Federal Government will be working towards the other demands, point 7 was dropped to avoid deadlocks.

Intelligence Bureau

HUMINT sources have reported that the Voice of Equality have gathered a base of 150,000 to 200,000 protesters in the Delhi National Capital Region. Intelligence Analysts estimate 8,000,000 to 12,000,000 protesters present in the Union of India, of which 600,000+ are in the Union Territory of Singapore and 100,000+ in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Protesters are peaceful with no reports of violence reported and State Police Forces report the on ground situation to be ‘slightly tense’ with business as usual for normal civilians. Still our analysts suggest taking precautions due to such large numbers of protesters.

Advancing National Infrastructure

In a dynamic move aimed at bolstering economic growth, Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Bernardt Ajanie Bekker, has championed a proposal. now greenlit for execution, allocates a substantial 6 billion in funding towards the comprehensive development of vital infrastructure.

The multifaceted endeavor encompasses the construction of critical components such as roads, telecommunication lines, and power networks, strategically positioned across the nation. Additionally, a meticulous review and enhancement program will be instituted to address the longstanding issue of potholes and dilapidated road sections in dire need of restoration.

By committing to this transformative undertaking, the government not only lays the groundwork for improved connectivity and accessibility but also fosters an environment conducive to sustained economic advancement. This strategic investment signals a resolute commitment to fortifying the nation's infrastructure backbone, thereby paving the way for enhanced mobility, communication, and productivity on a national scale.

This project will take 2 (IRL) weeks.
