As Indians leave Israel, Odia student decides to stay back
1 2 Rourkela: In the midst of escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, compounded by the US' recent bombing of nuclear sites in Iran, an Odia student has taken the decision to stay back in Israel even as other Indians are returning home. Despite the Indian govt's efforts to evacuate its nationals from the conflict zone, Taranga Dehury, a 29-year-old post-doctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has opted to stay back, hoping the situation will stabilise soon. He cited a decrease in the frequency of missile strikes on Israel as a reason for his decision. "I have been hearing the sound of sirens for incoming missiles, drones and rockets. But they are not in our area," Dehury told TOI from Israel. A resident of Maranda village in Angul district, he has been conducting post-doctoral research at the university's Institute of Chemistry since March this year. The Indian Embassy in Israel initiated an evacuation operation on Sunday, but Dehury has chosen not to register for the process. "The places particularly affected, like Tel Aviv, Central and North Israel, are about 60km from my university campus. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Write Better, Work Smarter With This Desktop App Grammarly Install Now Undo The frequency of missile strikes on these places has decreased over the last three days," said Dehury, who remains focused on his studies. "I am expecting the situation to improve soon. Although the operation to evacuate Indians was started by the Indian govt, I decided not to leave," he explained. "If it becomes necessary to leave for safety reasons, I will decide at that time." The recent escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict has significantly disrupted daily life in the region. The Hebrew University, along with other institutions, had temporarily closed doors before reopening last Thursday. But following the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday, Israel's Home Front Command issued new guidelines, restricting activities to essential services and suspending educational activities and gatherings. Like Dehury, Satyaranjan Biswal, another student from Odisha studying at the Hebrew University, has apparently decided to stay back in Israel. But despite repeated attempts, he could not be contacted.

BJP MLA slams Cong for ‘pro-terror' stand
Lucknow: BJP MLA from Sarojininagar, Rajeshwar Singh, on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the , accusing it of adopting a "pro-terrorism" stance by siding with Iran and vilifying Israel. Singh condemned Congress for what he termed a "shocking and shameful" defence of Iran, a country he described as a known sponsor of and a rogue nuclear aspirant. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "While the global community — from the United States to Europe and Israel — is uniting against Iran-backed terror networks, Congress has chosen to defend Tehran and criticise Israel, the only democracy in the region," Singh said. Taking strong exception to Congress referring to Iran as a "long-standing friend," Singh reminded the public that Iran had repeatedly insulted India over Kashmir, interfered in domestic matters like the CAA protests and Delhi riots, and echoed Pakistan-like narratives on Muslim persecution. "A nuclear Iran is not Israel's crisis alone — it's a global nightmare," Singh warned. Calling for national unity, he urged all political parties and citizens to reject Congress's alleged soft stance on terror regimes.
