The spectacular aerial display saw various aircraft showcase their capabilities. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were also present at the event. The event gave spectators an opportunity to witness a wide variety of aircraft and aerial manoeuvres, showcasing the Indian Air Force's capabilities across different operational roles, from fighter operations and helicopter formations to transport and coordinated flying. The air show was organised to commemorate the 94th anniversary of the Indian Air Force, bringing together a range of aircraft for an aerial display highlighting the force's operational capabilities, precision flying and coordination. The event featured aircraft such as the Tejas, Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand, Su-30MKI and Rafale, along with several transport and other military aircraft. The second phase of the programme began with three Mi-17 V-5 helicopters carrying the national flag and the Indian Air Force flag in an 'Omkar' formation. The formation was led by Group Captain Anuj Gupta, marking the beginning of another series of aerial manoeuvres during the event. The air show also featured the 'Bhagirathi' diamond formation, comprising LCH and Apache helicopters, followed by the Tridev formation. The latter brought together the Indian Navy's Kamov 31 helicopter and Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Mark 3 helicopters from the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army, showcasing coordination among the three services. As part of the programme, flowers were showered from the sky, adding a ceremonial element to the display. This was followed by a performance by Rudra aircraft led by Wing Commander S. Bhargava, which carried out a spectacular flare display while soaring across the sky. The Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT) also performed a precision aerial display over the River Ganga, drawing attention with its coordinated manoeuvres and tight formations. The team operates nine red-and-white Hawk Mk 132 aircraft, which painted the skies with a series of signature formations and aerobatic routines during the performance. The aerial display further showcased the Indian Air Force's airlift and formation-flying capabilities, with aircraft including the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) system, MiG-29, P-8I, IL-78, Mirage-2000 and Su-30MKI participating in different formations. The formations were named Freelocean, Nataraj, Mahadev, and Vishwanath, adding to the significance of the display held in Varanasi. The 'Neelkanth' formation, featuring three Rafale aircraft flying in a 'V' formation, was led by Squadron Leader Kaustubh Nalawade. An indigenous Tejas fighter aircraft brought its aerial display over Varanasi to a close with a distinctive Spider-Man farewell, providing a memorable conclusion to the performance. Large crowds gathered at Namo Ghat and nearby ghats to watch the Indian Air Force aircraft perform their aerial manoeuvres. Spectators also assembled at Bhosale Ghat and along the opposite bank of the Ganga, towards Ramnagar, to catch a glimpse of the spectacular display. Extensive security arrangements were put in place at the ghats to ensure the smooth conduct of the event. Personnel from the Water Police, the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), along with divers, were deployed at Namo Ghat and surrounding areas. Prime Minister Modi's presence at the event generated considerable enthusiasm among residents, with large numbers of people gathering along the route from the police lines to Namo Ghat to welcome him. The atmosphere remained lively as people assembled at designated points to catch a glimpse of the Prime Minister.

Chhaimar gang member, with Rs 1 lakh reward on head, arrested after in Delhi after a gunfight
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) A criminal of the Chhaimar gang, also known as the Kachha-Baniyan gang and carrying a reward of Rs.1 lakh, was arrested after an exchange of fire with Delhi Police in the South District, police said on Sunday. The accused, identified as Savan alias Sudhan alias Hira alias Muchhoda Fufa alias Muchhoda Chacha, was allegedly caught while he was conducting reconnaissance of farmhouses in the jurisdiction of Maidan Garhi police station with the intention of committing dacoity when a police team moved to intercept him. The team from Maidan Garhi police station, comprising SI Narendra Kumar, Assistant Sub-Inspector Ashok Mehta, Head Constables Sube Singh, Shakti, and Pradeep, and Constable Waseem Akram, acted on secret information about the suspects movement. According to police, the suspect allegedly opened fire at the team twice during the operation, with a bullet striking the bulletproof jacket of Sub-Inspector Narendra Kumar. The police retaliated, and Constable Akram fired at the suspect, hitting him in the right calf. The injured accused was apprehended and subsequently shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre for treatment, police said. According to the police, the suspect arrived on a motorcycle from the Bass Gaon Road at around 6.25 am on Sunday and was identified by a secret informer. When the team attempted to stop him, he allegedly fired at the personnel with a country-made pistol. SI Narendra Kumar fired three warning rounds. The suspect subsequently took out another country-made pistol and allegedly fired again, with a bullet striking the bulletproof jacket of SI Kumar, prompting the police to retaliate. The accused is reportedly wanted in several serious criminal cases including dacoity, robbery and murder, registered in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. A reward of Rs 1 lakh had been declared for him by the Additional Director General of Police, Varanasi Zone, in connection with a dacoity-cum-murder case registered at Shahganj police station in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh in 2014. His criminal antecedents also include an FIR registered at Raya police station in Mathura in 2016 in connection with a robbery-cum-murder case. In addition, he is reportedly wanted in a murder-cum-robbery case registered at City-2 police station in Mansa, Punjab, in 2024. The suspects modus operandi was to survey farmhouses to identify targets before carrying out dacoities. The police received information about his presence in the Maidan Garhi area, which prompted the police operation that ended with his arrest following the exchange of fire. Further investigation is underway to determine his role in other criminal cases, the police said.

Sharwanand's 'George Krish' unit begins filming mass retro song
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 24 (IANS) The makers of director Sreenu Vaitla's upcoming Telugu film, 'George Krish', featuring actor Sharwanand in the lead, have now announced that the unit of the film is in the process of shooting a mass retro song. Taking to its X timeline, AK Entertainments, the production house producing the film, wrote, RETRO VIBES. MASS BEATS. ENTERTAINMENT UNLIMITED! A high-energy RETRO MASS SONG shoot is underway for #GeorgeKrish! Our Captain of Entertainment, @SreenuVaitla, and Charming Star @ImSharwanand are gearing up for a FULL-ON SANKRANTHI FUN FEAST! IN CINEMAS ~ JANUARY 14, 2027. It may be recalled that the makers of the film had recently announced that Manasa Varanasi would play the female lead in the film. Sources say that Manasas role in 'George Krish' will have great significance. The film has generated excitement among fans ever since it was first announced as Sharwanand, who is riding high on the successes of his recent films -- 'Nari Nari Naduma Murari' and 'Biker' -- is teaming up with director Sreenu Vaitla for the first time. Presented by ATV, the film is being produced by Ramabrahmam Sunkara under Anil Sunkaras AK Entertainments banner, with Ajay Sunkara opting in as co-producer. It may be recalled that the makers had unveiled the title and release date through a colourful and eye-catching poster in August this year. The Sankranti sentiment is particularly special for Sharwanand as films of the actor that have released for the festival have gone on to emerge as huge successes. Films such as 'Shatamanam Bhavati', 'Express Raja' and 'Nari Nari Naduma Murari' all released for Sankranti and emerged winners. Now, 'George Krish' too is to be released for Sankranthi. 'George Krish' was launched in a grand fashion with a traditional pooja ceremony. For the muhurtham shot, producer Suresh Babu switched on the camera, with MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav sounding the clapboard. Sreenu Vaitla himself directed the first shot.

Ballot voting underway for Legislative Council polls, BJP and SP leaders trade barbs
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Oct 23 (IANS) Voting for the Legislative Council elections in Ghaziabad began at 8 a.m. on Friday, with voters arriving at polling stations in the district amid security arrangements. BJP MLA Nandkishor Gurjar, who was present at the booth, described the election as an important exercise, arguing that voting through ballot papers would put to the test the oppositions allegations regarding electronic voting machines (EVMs) and electoral malpractice. Targeting Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and other opposition leaders, Gurjar alleged that they questioned the electoral process when the BJP won elections but remained silent when their parties secured victories in other states. He said the current election, conducted through ballot papers, would provide an opportunity to assess the BJPs electoral support beyond the debate surrounding EVMs. This election is very important, Gurjar said, adding that BJP workers worked tirelessly to strengthen the party at the grassroots level. Expressing confidence in the partys leadership at the state and regional levels, the BJP MLA said opposition leaders would have to reconsider their allegations if the BJP secured a victory despite their criticism. He further claimed that allegations of EVM manipulation and vote theft amounted to an insult to the people who elected their representatives. Gurjar also said the ballot-based election would mark a new chapter in the countrys electoral history. Meanwhile, in Varanasi, Samajwadi Party MLA Ragini Sonkar appealed to voters to ensure a decisive victory for the partys candidates. She accused the BJP of creating an atmosphere of hooliganism, particularly in the education sector, and alleged that the ruling partys policies were adversely affecting students and young people. Sonkar claimed that children were being deprived of educational opportunities and that the youth were struggling to secure employment. She urged voters to support the Samajwadi Party, presenting the election as an opportunity to register their dissatisfaction with the BJPs governance. Polling began on Friday for 28 legislative Council seats across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka and Maharashtra, with voters turning up at designated booths. In Uttar Pradesh, polling is being held for five graduate and six teacher constituencies, while Bihar is having elections for four graduate and four teacher constituencies.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Thursday said that he has failed to understand the reasons behind opposition parties' criticism of India hosting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Mumbai. He also listed past instances when leaders have met foreign leaders outside Delhi. I didn't get that. They don't like Mumbai? I mean, they have something against Mumbai? I think it is a great city, it is our financial capital. It is our Bollywood capital. It has got so much going for it. Maybe Mumbai doesn't like them... I have no idea why they have this reservation, said EAM Jaishankar while speaking at the NDTV World Summit. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had last week taken a swipe at the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Rubio's meeting EAM Jaishankar in Mumbai, terming it as summoning. EAM Jaishankar then went on to list a few examples when India has hosted visiting foreign leaders outside Delhi. If going out of Delhi to meet a foreign leader or a foreign counterpart is summoning, I can give you a lot of examples. Mrs (Indira) Gandhi went to Shimla to meet Bhutto. Was she summoned? Salman Khurshid went to Jaipur to meet a Pakistan PM. Was he summoned? he asked. We are adults, let's have an adult conversation. Let's leave, you know, said EAM Jaishankar amid a round of applause from the gathering at the venue. EAM Jaishankar hosted counterparts from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States in Mumbai on October 19-20 and also attended the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the US as a Guest of Honour. Last week, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had also dismissed any criticism about the choice of Mumbai as a venue for EAM Jaishankar's bilateral engagements. It has been the practice for the last decade or so that we have hosted foreign dignitaries outside Delhi. To just give you some examples, Prime Minister hosted the Prime Minister of Spain in Baroda. He hosted Chancellor Merz in Ahmedabad. Prime Minister of Mauritius was hosted by him in Varanasi, and the External Affairs Minister hosted the SCO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Goa. He hosted the Foreign Minister of Botswana in Kevadia in Gujarat, and the External Affairs Minister also hosted the Heart of Asia Conference in Amritsar. So, that was just to give you a few examples of the meetings of leaders, of dignitaries that have happened outside of Delhi, stated MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal during a bi-weekly media briefing in New Delhi on Friday. /as
