Today is the 19th of March and here are the headlines. 


The Opposition raised concerns about the Gaganyaan astronauts being kept away from public view. Minister Jitendra Singh stated this was to prevent distractions during their acclimatisation and training. He added that excessive media exposure could be counterproductive. One astronaut, Group Captain Shukla, will also join international astronauts on a mission to the ISS.


Prime Minister Modi welcomed back NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams after their nine-month space mission. He lauded their grit and courage, calling their return a testament to the human spirit. PM Modi expressed pride in their perseverance and the dedication of those who ensured their safe return to Earth.


An FIR details how a man accused in the Nagpur violence allegedly misbehaved and inappropriately touched a woman police officer. The accused also reportedly made obscene gestures towards other women, including police personnel. The incident occurred on March 17 and continued until late that night. The FIR was filed by a Sub-Inspector on March 18.


A woman and her lover were arrested in Meerut for allegedly murdering her husband. They dismembered his body and dumped parts in a cement-filled tank. Police said the couple killed the man on March 4 and used the cement to conceal the smell. The wife had purchased the tank, and the lover brought the cement.


The Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards 2023 will be presented by President Droupadi Murmu. The awards recognize outstanding journalism across print, digital, and broadcast media in 13 categories.
