House session starts with tributes to terror victims
1 2 Kolkata: Bengal assembly convened its two week-long monsoon session on Monday and offered condolences to victims of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack . As the House assembled, speaker Biman Banerjee condoled the deaths of 26 people. Obituary references were also made to the deaths of Bollywood actor Manoj Kumar, Tehatta MLA Tapas Saha and Kaliganj MLA Nasiruddin Ahamed. Everyone observed a one-minute silence. Full-fledged legislative business will commence on Tuesday with a resolution condemning the terror attack and hailing the armed forces. CM Mamata Banerjee is likely to participate in the two-hour discussion. Biman said while Parliament failed to acknowledge Operation Sindoor's significance, state assembly would formally express its gratitude towards the forces. However, the name 'Operation Sindoor' will not be directly referred to in the resolution, a TMC senior said. BJP has insisted on mentioning 'Operation Sindoor' in the discussion, its chief whip Shankar Ghosh said. On Monday, BJP protested the non-inclusion of names of two victims of Murshidabad riots in the condolence message. Later, around 30 BJP MLAs offered condolences to them. LOP Suvendu Adhikari has demanded a special session on Murshidabad. Taking a jibe at BJP, Biman said: "They are more comfortable expressing themselves before the media than participating in the House."

Army to get new air defence boost with Rs 30,000 crore QR-SAM deal
NEW DELHI: The defence ministry will soon take up the case for a preliminary nod to a Rs 30,000 crore proposal to procure three regiments of the new indigenous quick reaction surface to air missile (QR-SAM) systems for the Army. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Rajnath Singh-led defence acquisitions council will consider granting acceptance of necessity (AoN) for the highly-mobile QR-SAM systems, which are designed to intercept hostile fighters, helicopters and drones at a range up to 25-30 km, later this month. The move comes soon after India's existing multi-layered air defence network played a crucial role in thwarting multiple waves of Turkish-origin drones and Chinese missiles launched by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor - the May 7-10 hostilities. The and the Army have over the last three-four years tested the QR-SAM systems against high-speed aerial targets mimicking various types of threats to evaluate their capability under different day and night operational scenarios. Defence PSUs Bharat Electronics and Bharat Dynamics will co-produce the QR-SAM systems. "The QR-SAM systems can operate on the move with search and track capability and fire at short halts. They are tailor-made to move along with tanks and infantry combat vehicles to provide them air defence in the tactical battlefield," an official said. The Army Air Defence (AAD), which performed exceedingly well during Operation Sindoor, in fact, requires 11 regiments of the QR-SAM, even as it progressively also inducts regiments of the indigenous Akash system, which has an interception range of about 25-km at present. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The induction of the QR-SAM systems will add to the existing air defence network of the IAF and the Army, which ranges from the long-range Russian S-400 'Triumf' surface-to-air missile systems (380 km interception range) and Barak-8 medium range SAM systems (70 km), jointly developed with Israel, to the Russian shoulder-fired Igla-S missiles (6 km), the upgraded L-70 anti-aircraft guns (3.5 km) and the indigenous integrated drone detection and interdiction systems (1km-2 km). While the DRDO is also readying the very short-range air defence missile systems (VSHORADS), which have a 6 km interception range, the real game-changer will be an air defence system with a 350 km range being developed under the ambitious Project Kusha. India plans to operationally deploy this long-range system by 2028-2029, with the defence ministry in Sept 2023 approving the AoN for procurement of five of its squadrons for the IAF at a cost of Rs 21,700 crore, as was first reported by TOI.
