Tech snag grounds Lucknow-bound IndiGo flight in Chd, 177 passengers stranded
Chandigarh: A Lucknow-bound IndiGo flight was cancelled at Chandigarh Airport on Sunday morning after the detection of a technical snag, leaving 177 passengers stranded and raising fresh concerns about recurring technical issues with the airline.
Apart from this, 23 other Indigo fights, including a Dubai flight successfully operated from Chandigarh, said an official.
IndiGo Flight 6E 146, scheduled to depart at 7:10am from Chandigarh to Lucknow, was halted before taxiing when the pilot noticed a fault during the pre-flight check. Passengers were informed about the snag and safely deboarded as a precautionary measure. The airline confirmed that the aircraft did not proceed to the runway and take-off was aborted on time.
Despite the airline's efforts to pacify stranded travellers, several passengers took to 'X' to express frustration over the lack of timely information and disruption of their schedules.
In a statement responding to a passenger's query on 'X', IndiGo said, "The flight did not take off due to a technical issue identified before departure. The aircraft was scheduled to carry 177 customers. Refreshments were served and passengers were given the option of alternative flights or full refunds."

"
Meanwhile, officials at Chandigarh airport confirmed that the cause of Sunday's technical snag remained unclear. They added that engineering teams were working on identifying and fixing the problem, but repairs were underway till late evening.
The repeated technical issues have sparked concern among frequent flyers and aviation observers, prompting questions about aircraft maintenance standards and operational safety. Neither the airport authorities nor IndiGo have issued an official explanation on the nature of the fault in the Chandigarh-Lucknow flight.
This incident marks the fourth such case involving an IndiGo aircraft in the month of June.

Dell wants to set up AI factories in your office
Bengaluru: Dell Technologies is making the establishment of industrial-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure as easy as any other office equipment: fully assembled, ready to be bolted down and switched on. That's the idea of the firm's "AI factory" – a self-contained stack of servers, storage, networking and software that can be trundled straight into a data room and start turning proprietary data into working models within hours. "We already have about 2,000 customers running some parts of the factory," said Arunkumar Narayanan, Dell's senior vice-president for compute and networking, who sits out of the US but was in India recently. The idea arose when executives realised that most corporate AI pilots stalled not on algorithms but on plumbing: incompatible hardware, scattered datasets and a shortage of engineers who understand GPU clusters. "If data is your secret sauce you want the compute on-prem (not on cloud), yet nobody wants a two-year integration project," he argued. "So we just build the whole thing and let you wheel it in." Each factory is delivered in sizes that range from a single rack for proof-of-concept work to a warehouse-scale pod. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Every stack can be ordered with either air- or liquid-cooled accelerator trays. The latter is becoming the default as Nvidia's forthcoming Blackwell GPUs push past 1000 watts a card. "Twelve months ago nine out of ten racks we shipped were air-cooled; in two years, seven out of ten will be liquid," Narayanan said. Indian engineering lies behind much of the design. Dell's largest server team sits in Bengaluru and the mainstream two-socket racks that form the backbone of smaller factories are built at Sriperumbudur, near Chennai. While the company still assembles its flagship AI nodes in other regions, Narayanan hinted that a dedicated Indian line "is only a matter of demand". Local demand is not in doubt. On a recent tour, Narayanan met Mumbai banks seeking faster fraud detection, the National Stock Exchange looking to accelerate the world's busiest order book, and outsourcers keen to offload customer support onto generative chatbots. All wanted the same thing: cloud-like flexibility without surrendering sensitive data. That, Dell believes, is exactly what an AI factory provides. "You decide the use-case, we ship the factory, and your model starts working within hours of arriving on site."

Prayagraj's women lead the way with 46.71% workdays under MNREGA
1 2 Prayagraj: The state government's relentless efforts towards women's empowerment and employment have yielded impressive results in Sangam City. Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), women's participation in total workdays generated has reached an encouraging 46.71 per cent. A total of 1.60 crore jobs (manav diwas) have so far been created under the MNREGA scheme across the state in the financial year 2025-26, out of which women contributed to the creation of more than 72 lakh jobs. The contribution of about 45 per cent is the highest so far. Interestingly, women are also proving helpful for MNREGA management and supervision. The number of women mates employed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) has increased in the current financial year. Over 5,500 women mates have been employed, marking a 3 percent rise from 41.87 per cent in 2024-25. Deputy commissioner (MNREGA) Gulab Chandra said, "As many as 6,112,887 jobs (manav diwas) have so far been created in the Prayagraj district during the financial year 2024-25. The percentage of workdays of women workers in the total workdays created has been 46.71%, which is more than the state average." He said, "The responsibility of rozgar sevak (women mate) given to rural women under MNREGA is bringing a big change in their lives." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Chandra said as many as 852 women mates were employed in the district in the financial year 2024-25. The govt provides an honorarium of Rs 325 per day to these women mates. In this way, it turned out to be a source of additional income for them along with their household work. Namrata Devi, a resident of Arjun Patti Gram Panchayat of Handia development block of the district, says that her husband Akhilesh works in a rubber factory, but the basic needs of the house were not met. After being appointed to the job of a mahila mate in MNREGA, she is able to get extra money every month and manages the house smoothly. Sushila Devi, a resident of Jagua Sodha Gram Panchayat of Handia development Khand, claims, "Despite her work as a welder, the education of two children and household expenses were not met with this amount." She said that with the income she gets from MNREGA mate, she is able to cover the education expenses of her children.
