Army personnel paid a solemn tribute to the Assam Rifles' fallen soldier, honouring his dedication and service to the nation. A large number of locals and relatives gathered at his residence to catch a final glimpse and pay their respects to the braveheart. Speaking to ANI, Fasal Iqbal, the son of the deceased Havildar, expressed immense pride in his father's sacrifice and shared his own resolve to serve the country. We feel proud that he made the ultimate sacrifice for the country. I feel good knowing he did something truly right for the country and made that sacrifice. It is a matter of pride for all of us, Fasal said. Motivated by his father's valour, Fasal added that he intends to follow in his footsteps by joining the armed forces. My resolve is to become a good officer, serve the country, and take revenge on the enemies, he added. Havildar Mohd Iqbal had been serving in Nagaland, where he lost his life while performing his duties. Earlier on July 11, the Assam Rifles in Tripura had also organised a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at Radhanagar Battalion in remembrance of Rifleman (GD) Govind Singh of 28 Assam Rifles, who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of the Nation on 10 July 1996.

As the party approached the suspected militant camp, it came under fire. During the fierce exchange of fire, Rifleman (GD) Govind Singh displayed exemplary courage and devotion to duty. He sustained gunshot wounds and later succumbed to his injuries, laying down his life in the highest traditions of valour and selfless service. The wreaths were laid by the Subedar Major, Adjutant, Second-in-Command and the Commandant of the Battalion in a dignified ceremony attended by all troops. The gathering observed two minutes of silence as a mark of respect to the fallen soldier whose unwavering courage and supreme sacrifice continue to inspire generations of Assam Rifles personnel. The ceremony served as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers of Assam Rifles and reaffirmed the Force's unwavering commitment to honouring their legacy. (ANI)

Solinas Integrity Private Limited , a deep-tech robotics company incubated at IIT Madras, has been selected as the subject of a case study published on Harvard Business Publishing - the world's foremost repository of business school teaching cases used by institutions across six continents. Authored by Dr. Suresh Srinivasan from the Great Lakes Institute of Management, the case thoughtfully captures Solinas’ journey, innovation, and growing impact across India. ENDOBOT enables robotic inspection to detect defects inside water, sewer, & stormwater pipelines, while HOMOSEP eliminates manual scavenging through mechanized manhole cleaning Operating at the intersection of public infrastructure and industrial systems, Solinas has emerged as a key player working closely with municipal corporations across multiple states, as well as leading industries. The company focuses on solving critical challenges in underground infrastructure, ranging from manual scavenging, water pipeline leakages, and contamination risks to unsafe sewer systems, areas that are often invisible yet vital to public health and sustainability. Through its advanced robotics, AI, and digitization solutions, Solinas is enabling cities to reduce non-revenue water, improve service delivery, and make data-driven decisions. At the same time, its solutions are helping industries ensure operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure reliability. Solinas is among a small cohort of Indian startups — and fewer still from the WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) sector — to be featured in this publishing ecosystem. The case is now available as a teaching resource for MBA programs and business schools worldwide. The HBS case study highlights how Solinas is building a scalable and impact-driven business model in a traditionally underserved sector. It explores the company’s approach to navigating complex government ecosystems, establishing credibility in industrial markets, and leveraging technology to create measurable outcomes. “There is no playbook for building a technology company in the water and sanitation sector. Solinas has been built through constant experimentation and learning. Having studied Harvard Business School case studies during my education, it is incredibly meaningful to now see our journey featured as one,” said Divanshu Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, Solinas. The case is expected to serve as a global learning resource for students, policymakers, and business leaders, offering insights into innovation, public-private collaboration, and building a startup in critical infrastructure sectors in WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene).
