Know about the new rule in North Korea regarding the names given to children.

North Korea has ordered parents to give their children patriotic names including the likes of ‘bomb’ and ‘gun’ – as the dictatorship clamps down on using gentler, more uplifting monikers.

Previously, Pyongyang had allowed people to use names that ended on softer vowels such as A Ri (loved one) and Su Mi (super beauty), more like South Korea. 

But now the country has demanded that people with softer names change theirs and those of their children’s to more ideological and militaristic ones if they are not ‘revolutionary’ enough. 

They want people to give their children names with a final consonant and are threatening fines to those who do not comply. Suitable names include Chong Il (gun), Chung Sim (loyalty), Pok Il (bomb) and Ui Song (satellite).

India jumps to 48th place in international aviation safety ranking : DGCA.

India has jumped to the 48th position — its highest ever spot — in the global aviation safety ranking by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Four years ago, the country was ranked at the 102nd position.

In the ranking, Singapore is at the top, followed by the UAE and South Korea at the second and third positions, respectively, the officials said.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) had last month audited the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to check its effective implementation (El) of critical safety elements.

The higher ranking means that India has improved its air safety processes. Better aviation safety in home skies also allows Indian carriers to expand faster in overseas markets as permissions for new services are easier to get.
