First up, Mumbai is gearing up for the CJP's \"Lehra Do Tiranga\" protest at Azad Maidan. Police have authorized a one-day gathering of up to 5,000 people between 9 am and 6 pm, urging supporters to assemble at Azad Maidan instead of heading towards the Gateway of India. Meanwhile, Tesla has unveiled its latest creation: a flying car. CEO Elon Musk showcased the vehicle at SpaceX's test facility in McGregor, Texas, revealing it was developed in collaboration with SpaceX. The innovative mode of transportation can take off using cold-gas thrusters. Reliance Industries has also responded to Elon Musk's recent remarks about the delayed entry of Starlink in India. The company asserts it has \"never feared competition\" and emphasizes that operators must adhere to Indian laws. With Jio's satellite services awaiting clearance, Reliance Industries remains focused on its upcoming IPO listing. Turning to health concerns, Mumbai's Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached 181, classified as \"Unhealthy\" by the Central Pollution Control Board. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions when venturing outdoors. Separately, a shocking incident has surfaced in the United States, where a 19-year-old white supremacist and neo-Nazi, Alexandros Paporakis, has been arrested for allegedly plotting to target Indian worshippers at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois.
