Bengaluru: Boeing has laid off up to 180 employees at its Engineering Technology Center in Bengaluru as part of a global workforce reduction, according to a source familiar with the development. The move comes amid broader challenges faced by the US aircraft manufacturer, which had announced a 10% reduction in its global workforce last year.

The Boeing India Engineering & Technology Center (BIETC), with facilities in Bengaluru and Chennai, plays a crucial role in advanced aerospace work. The Bengaluru centre is one of Boeing’s largest investments outside the US. The company also sources approximately $1.25 billion worth of components from over 300 suppliers across India annually.

Boeing, which employs around 7,000 people in India, has not issued an official statement on the layoffs. The source indicated that the cuts were made strategically, ensuring no disruption to customer service or government operations. While some roles were eliminated, new positions were also created, with the company maintaining a measured approach to workforce adjustments in India.

Noida (PTI): A Lamborghini hit two pedestrians on a footpath adjacent to an under-construction building in sector 94 here on Sunday, police said.

The injured, labourers from Chhattisgarh, were rushed to a nearby hospital and are said to be out of danger. They have suffered a fracture in their legs, police said.

A purported video surfaced online showing that after the accident, a man was heard asking the accused if he knew how many people died here. To this, the accused asked the locals "koi mar gaya idhar? (did anyone die here?)" and came out of the car.

Following this, someone in the video could be heard saying, "police ko bulao (call the police)".

Bhupendra Singh, In-charge at Sector 126 Police Station told PTI, "In the car accident two labourers were injured and they were from Chhattisgarh. They are out of danger and have fractures in their legs."

During questioning he told the police that the accident happened due to a fault in the vehicle. Further investigation is underway, Singh said.
