 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

THE TELECOM REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF INDIA (TRAI) HAS INSTRUCTED TELECOM OPERATORS, INCLUDING JIO, AIRTEL, AND VI, TO IMPLEMENT THE CALLING NAME PRESENTATION (CNAP) FEATURE.(PHOTO).


 The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has instructed telecom operators, including Jio, Airtel, and Vi, to implement the Calling Name Presentation (CNAP) feature. 


This feature will allow mobile users to see the caller’s registered name on their screen without needing third-party apps like Truecaller. The move is aimed at reducing spam and fraudulent calls by ensuring caller identity verification.


To make CNAP a reality, major telecom companies such as Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel, and Reliance Jio are working with global tech firms like HP, Dell, Ericsson, and Nokia. The necessary equipment for trials has already been ordered, and initial tests have been conducted in select regions. The service will be introduced in phases once the technology is fully stabilized.


The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) had directed telecom operators in January 2025 to roll out CNAP as soon as possible. This decision follows TRAI’s earlier recommendation in February 2024, urging the government to mandate the feature for all smartphones. Authorities believe CNAP will help curb customer harassment caused by frequent spam and scam calls.


While the official rollout date has not been announced, TRAI has urged the government to expedite the process. Once implemented, CNAP will ensure that every call displays the caller’s registered name, allowing users to make informed decisions about answering calls and enhancing overall security in mobile communications.
