Opinion July 11, 1985, Forty Years Ago: One Black Box Found
This is the front page of The Indian Express published on July 11, 1985.

A French naval ship has finally recovered one of the two black boxes from 2,000 metres under the Atlantic. The black boxes had sunk into the Atlantic following the crash of an Air India jumbo jet on June 23 in which all 329 persons aboard had died. The recovered black box is the cockpit voice recorder, which may provide evidence of the exchange between the pilot of the ill-fated plane and all air control towers.
Encroachment Ban
A constitution bench of the Supreme Court held that though the Constitution guarantees the right to livelihood to all persons, no one can encroach upon pavements or other public places to make a living. The five-judge bench upheld the provision in the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act that prohibits unauthorised structures and grants power to the commissioner to remove them.
Delhi Bank Heist
Three gun-toting youths raided the Panchsheel Enclave branch of the New Bank of India and made away with Rs 3.02 lakh in cash. The robbery occurred at around 12.40 pm, shortly after the bank had finished its morning transactions. The-30-odd employees of the bank were busy with paperwork. Two customers were still inside, finishing their work when three youths strolled in.
Sri Lanka Crisis
The Sri Lankan government said it would free more than 600 Tamil guerrilla suspects and lift the night curfew in the troubled Northern Province for the first time in eight months. The announcement immediately eased tension in the Tamil-populated provincial capital of Jaffna, which had been rocked for two days by demonstrations against secret peace talks between Tamil separatists and the Sri Lankan Government in Bhutan.
