| India successfully launched its communication satellite-9 (GSAT-9) into a Geostationary orbit. The Gsat-9, with its footprint extending all over South Asia, marks India’s first ‘space diplomacy’ endeavour allowing six neighbouring countries to use the benefits of the satellite without having to spend anything on the project. India has incurred an estimated cost of Rs 450 crore and will now have a secure hotline with the six nations that can be used during disaster management and other emergencies. |

| The Supreme Court has upheld the death penalty for the four convicts in the 2012 gang-rape and murder of Nirbhaya. “The Nirbhaya rape-cum-murder case is rarest of rare case and we are compelled to give extreme punishment to ensure justice. The brutal, barbaric, and demonaical conduct of the convicts shook the conscience of humanity and they don’t deserve leniency,” the top court said, while hearing an appeal filed by the four convicts who challenged the Delhi High Court’s March 2014 confirmation of the death sentence handed to them by a trial court in 2013. |
