​	Navy Deployment to Red Sea​	​
​	​	​

A Gandhi Indian Navy deployment to the Middle East's Red Sea has been confirmed to be ending by a Navy official today. In a statement given to Doordarshan, he is quoted as saying;

"The Indian Navy has deployed multiple vessels from the Western Naval Command to the Middle East in response to the recent missile attack against Egypt. With the lack of following action, Indian forces are being recalled."

He went on further to say that the deployment had been ordered by Defence Department Head Fernandes, and additionally, that the deployment had been quickly reinforced by a recently commissioned destroyer.

This is the first foreign deployment of the Gandhi Indian Navy, and the first for its new vessel, called the INS Rajput, the lead ship of the Rajput class of guided missile destroyer.

​	DD India​	​
​	New Government Anti-Pollution Efforts​	​
​		​

The Emperor has announced today that in an effort to combat rising pollution within India, all single-use plastic bottles will be banned in the near future.

Over 200 million American dollars have been allocated to budget for the gradual replacement of in-use bottles for metal water containers, starting with changes in factories to stop production of bottles in the near future.

This is the first in what seems to be a long line of investments into back into India. An unnamed government source has informed Doordarshan that "... the next step will be a massive housing expansion program."

A related law has been implemented to ensure that water prices are not affected by these changes.

It remains to be seen if the proposed changes are both economically sustainable and viable.
