PM marks World Environment Day with a Sindoor sapling
World Environment Day
Thursday,
PM Narendra Modi
planted a Sindoor sapling at his residence and launched a special plantation drive in the capital as part of Centre's Aravalli Green Wall Project, which aims to reforest the 700-km mountain range that stretches from Delhi to Gujarat.
The Sindoor sapling was gifted to him by a group of women during his recent visit to Kutch. The women, displaying remarkable courage, had helped Army rebuild an airfield during 1971 Indo-Pak war. Recalling his visit to Gujarat, the PM, in a post on X, said the Sindoor sapling represented for him bravery and inspirational role of women in the country.
The PM planted a tree at Bhagwan Mahavir Vanasthali Park in the capital. CMs of all four Aravalli states, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, participated in the programme by planting trees in Aravalli districts falling under their respective jurisdiction.

Protecting nature is responsibility of every citizen, says Haryana CM
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Sunday that protecting nature and environment is not merely a government initiative but the responsibility of every citizen. "Amid continuous development, we must not forget that the basis of life lies in nature and trees. Issues like climate change, irregular rainfall and rising temperatures can only be addressed through large-scale tree plantation and their protection, which is essential for securing our future," he added. The Chief Minister said that the state government has set a target of planting 2.1 crore saplings under several campaigns, to be achieved with collective efforts. He was addressing the 76th state-level Van Mahotsav organised at Seonsar in Kurukshetra district. Earlier, he laid the foundation stone of the Saraswati Wetland Reservoir, Saraswati Flora and Biodiversity Conservation Park and Saraswati Jungle Safari. He also released the 'Triphala' booklet. On this occasion, the Chief Minister planted saplings to give a message of environmental protection. He also unveiled the Haryana wildlife map, Kurukshetra wildlife map, and five books prepared by the Forest Department. Chief Minister Saini said that the 76th Van Mahotsav is not just an event, but a symbol of gratitude towards nature, responsibility and a resolve to ensure a happy future for generations to come. "This is the third event in the series of this year's state-level Van Mahotsav celebrations. Various programmes are also being held at the district level across the state, with active participation from local people and students." He added that Van Mahotsav means a festival of forests, a tribute to nature, and an expansion of greenery. "It reminds us that trees are not just a source of wood but the foundation of life." He said that "while we are moving ahead rapidly in the race for modernity, Van Mahotsav reminds us not to exploit nature but to learn to coexist with it". Recognising the importance of trees, the state government has launched several plantation drives, which have yielded positive results, the Chief Minister added. Many plans have been formulated to increase forest cover, CM Saini said. He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also launched a unique campaign, "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam", on June 5, 2024, on World Environment Day at the Buddha Jayanti Park in Delhi. In the first phase of this campaign, a target of planting 1.6 crore saplings in Haryana was set, but the state exceeded the target by planting 1.87 crore saplings. This year, on June 5, the second phase of "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" began, with a target of 2.1 crore saplings. "Since October 2014, about 18 crore saplings have been planted in the state." The state government has also started special schemes to promote urban forestry so that greenery can be increased in cities. In addition, strict measures have been taken to prevent illegal felling of trees and to protect wildlife. The Forest Department has been instructed to be more proactive in this direction. To make society more sensitive towards forests and wildlife, facilities such as jeep safaris and children's study tours have been arranged at Kalesar. The 'Green Aravalli Action Plan' has also been launched in southern Haryana. This joint project of the Central and state governments will be implemented in the Aravalli hills of four states, including Haryana, covering 29 districts, five of which are in Haryana.

"Op Sindoor Demonstrated India's Advanced Defence Capabilities": HAL Chief
Bengaluru: Operation Sindoor demonstrated India's advanced defence capabilities, indigenous strength and synergy of Indian defence forces by bringing together legacy and modern system operations, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) chairman DK Sunil said on Saturday. Addressing the Memorial Lecture of former Air Chief Marshal Lakshman Madhav Katre at HAL's Management Academy auditorium in Bengaluru, the HAL chief also congratulated the defence forces for the "stupendous success" of the Operation. "This capability (of defence forces) was on full display during Operation Sindoor, which demonstrated India's advanced defence capabilities, indigenous strength and synergy of Indian defence forces that brought together legacy and modern system operations. On behalf of HAL, I would like to congratulate the Indian defence forces for the stupendous success of Operation Sindoor," he said. Heading the Indian Air Force from 1984-1985, Air Chief Marshal L M Katre commanded various missions in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, and always pushed for self-reliance in defence technology. While serving as the Chairman of HAL in 1983, he was instrumental in conceptualising plans for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas and Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv. "Air Chief Marshal Lakshman Madhav Katre left an indelible imprint on the Indian Air Force and on Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. His commitment to operational excellence, strategic foresight, and unwavering belief in self-reliance paved the way for what we proudly call today 'Atmanirbharta' in defence," the HAL chief said. "Air Marshal Katre's life and career were marked by exemplary service and steadfast dedication. From active participation in World War 2, to commanding roles in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, his meticulous planning ensured sustained operations from forward fields under enemy fire," he added. Talking about the former IAF chief's tenure as HAL chief, DK Sunil mentioned how the projects of LCA Tejas and ALH Dhruv, which were "dreams cast into reality," helped India get away from dependency. "As Chairman of HAL, he displayed remarkable foresight. At a time when India's defence industry was still nascent, he championed indigenous designs and development, laid the foundation of a program that defines India's aerospace capability today. During his tenure, two projects were conceptualised that transformed India's aviation landscape, the Light Combat Aircraft, Tejas and the Advanced Light Helicopter, Dhruv. These were not just projects, they were dreams cast into reality, they symbolised India's ambition to break free from dependency," he said. Putting forward the operational achievements of both the aircraft and the Helicopter, the HAL chief added, "Today, the LCA Tejas proudly serves in our sky as our frontline fighter, and the ALH Dhruv serves in utility and combat roles for our armed forces. These platforms stand as testimony to Air Chief Marshal Katre's vision and faith in Indian capability." Indian Armed Forces carried out Operation Sindoor on May 7 to avenge the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 people.

6 Army super dogs scour Dharali's ruins for survivors
1 2 3 4 5 6 Dehradun: In the pale light of a rainy morning, soldiers moved across a slope of decimated earth, slowing as Hazel lowered her head, snout twitching and nostrils flaring as she swept the ground in deliberate arcs. The labrador, in a black Army harness with SAR (search and rescue) inscribed on it, is one in the pack of six Army dogs now searching for survivors in a virtually non-existent Dharali that's buried under mounds of debris since Aug 5. The pack, with silky black and golden fur coats, arrived in staggered movements from bases in Dehradun, Meerut and Lucknow. Along with Hazel are three females, Jansi, 2, Sara, 3, and June, 5, and two males, Opana, 2½, and the most field-experienced Rahi, 7, with five years of service behind her. Sara, Opana and Rahi worked in the 2024 floods in Wayanad and Shimla. The rest are here for their first deployment beyond controlled drills. June, stationed in Harsil since late May, was caught with her handler on Aug 5 between falling rock and a sudden rise in water while moving towards Dharali. They escaped but were trapped by the blocked route. Later that day, Rahi's path from Dehradun was cut by fresh slides. On Aug 6, Opana, Jansi and Sara left Meerut, and Hazel travelled from Lucknow to Dehradun. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Drive, Sail & Save – The Budget-Friendly Way to Explore Europe! Undo The next day, with weather clearing briefly, all four were flown into the valley. Work for the pack begins at 6.30am and ends after 12 hours, divided into rotations to keep them sharp: an hour of searching followed by 20 minutes of rest, repeated six or seven times. In heavy terrain, the cycle shortens to 30–35 minutes with 10-minute breaks, sustained for up to three hours before a longer rest and feeding. Handlers move them in wide arcs, reading the stillness, the fixed stare or the pawing at the ground that signals a possible find. Lt Col Manish Srivastava, PRO, defence (Dehradun), told TOI that the dogs had been trained to save buried lives. "Agile, alert and precise, they are operating in areas where machines cannot go," he said. They are trained to detect the faintest trace of human scent — whether from clothing or from air trapped in collapsed structures — through four or five feet of packed mud, and in some conditions as deep as 15–18 feet. Their nostrils work constantly, tasting the air for clues as they move. They can cover more than five acres in under an hour, a task that might take 20 soldiers with specialised equipment several hours. Dogs are often sent ahead of ground-penetrating radar, Zevar radar and victim-locator cameras, into zones too unstable for people or machinery. Their signals direct the flow of manpower. When a dog marks a location, soldiers close in with shovels, cutters and, where possible, heavy equipment. The combination of canine precision and electronic sensors allows rescuers to work faster and avoid wasted digs in treacherous ground. "They are our force multipliers in this operation," said an officer involved in the mission. "A lot of hope rests on them — and here, hope is measured in the narrowing of a search area, the certainty of where to dig, and the possibility that somewhere beneath the shifting earth, there is still someone alive."
