"The terrorists (who were targeted) revealed the proof to the entire global fraternity. The coffins were escorted by the military force of that country, the political force of that country and by terrorists," he said.
During Operation Sindoor, launched in retaliation for the killing of 26 people in Pahalgam on April 22,
Indian armed forces
struck terror bases in
Pakistan-occupied Kashmir
and Pakistan earlier this month.
Dhankhar said India is emerging as a global economic force and a maritime powerhouse. The country is committed to peace, sustainability and development, he said.
"To be a 'viksit nation', we need an eight-fold increase in per capita income. Economic development cannot take place when we have a war-like situation. Peace is fundamental to growth and development," he said.
Dhankhar said peace comes from strength in security, economy and development, and commitment to the nation.
Officials said during his visit to Vasco, the Vice President dedicated to the nation three projects at Mormugao Port - a 3 MW solar power plant, commercial operation of two harbour mobile cranes and a covered drone for coal handling.
Goa Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Shripad Naik, Union minister of state for port, shipping and waterways, were present on the occasion.

hilton: Finding top talent: Hospitality sector demand seen at 600-1,000 GMs in five years
ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT NEW DELHI: On days, even the early bird can have a tough hunt. Ask Atul Dangayach . Managing director of the eponymous group , he has kickstarted an earlierthan-usual search for two general managers to run his upcoming properties in Bengaluru.'It's getting harder to find the right general managers, especially for large luxury assets,' said Dangayach. The group owns properties run by chains such as Marriott International , Accor and Radisson Hotel Group . It will launch Hilton 's first Waldorf Astoria hotel in India as well as a Raffles hotel in Goa. 'The industry has grown so rapidly and traveller preferences are so evolved now— talent has not been able to catch up,' he said. 'It's also a tough and demanding role, and not everyone's cut out for it.'Industry insiders said rapid expansion by hotel chains over the next five years is likely to create demand for 600-1,000 new general managers, or heads of hotels. Dilip Puri, founder and chairman of the Indian School of Hospitality, refers to it as the GM conundrum.'The dearth of general managers is likely to be felt across segments,' said Puri, who works with chains such as The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts and Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts in Sri Lanka on training general managers. 'Considering changes in technology and consumer behaviour, brands are sometimes promoting candidates for failure, as many are not equipped with the required skill sets.'Natwar Nagar, founder of The Job Plus that works on skilling hospitality candidates, pegs the requirement at about 1,000 over the next five years. 'Attrition has also gone up,' he said, adding that there have been lateral movements in hospitality as well as to other sectors, such as real estate, and commercial facility senior general managers from Marriott shifted to full portfolio roles this year. The company declined to comment on their replacements and the potential demand for new talent. Another cluster general manager at a luxury chain has moved to a real estate major's hospitality division. Multiple former general managers now hold CXO-level roles at real estate firms, while a former general manager is the India head of an international Indian hospitality sector is on the brink of a decisive general manager deficit, especially across luxury, upper-upscale and upscale segments, said Neha Garg, founder director of Red Kite Consulting. 'We estimate 660–800 general managers will be required across all branded segments over the next five years,' she said. 'Within luxury and upper-upscale segments, demand could exceed 100 new general managers, which does not include succession or replacement demand.'If the industry does not proactively nurture talent, there could be a shortfall in the coming years, especially in fast-growing segments and emerging markets, said Nikhil Sharma, managing director and chief operating officer, South Asia, at Radisson Hotel Group. 'We have been strengthening our talent pipeline to ensure we have capable general managers ready as new hotels come online,' he Saxena, senior vice-president and regional head, South Asia, for Hilton, said talent is going to be the single largest priority for hotel chains. 'The industry is likely to double its operating hotel supply in the coming years, and as an industry, we need more qualified general managers to manage and run our hotels and deliver world class quality,' he will need about 50-60 new general managers over the next three years, said Vineet Mishra, vice-president, operations, for India and South Asia at the chain. 'While the existing talent is strong, a potential shortfall could definitely surface in future years particularly within tier II-III cities, where operational difficulty accompanies an ever growing expectation for adherence to brand standards,' he said.

RCB Victory Parade Stampede Causes Internet Storm
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government's celebratory zeal turned into a tragic nightmare as a stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL 2025 victory parade claimed 11 lives and injured 33 others near M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Congress-led administration, under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, is now under intense scrutiny for its alleged insensitivity and negligence, with netizens and opposition leaders alike slamming the government for prioritising political mileage over public safety. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many holding the government directly responsible for the preventable tragedy. RCB's first IPL title win in 18 years was a historic moment for fans, culminating in a victory over Punjab Kings by 6 runs on June 3. The Karnataka government which was seen eager to bask in the glory of Bengaluru's triumph, rushed to organise a victory parade within 12 hours of the win. It is a stark contrast to other IPL teams like KKR, MI, and CSK, which held their parades 2-3 days later with proper planning, and the Indian T20 World Cup team, which waited 5 days. The parade, which began at Vidhana Soudha and was meant to culminate at Chinnaswamy Stadium, drew an estimated 2-3 lakh fans, far exceeding the stadium's capacity of 35,000. The situation spiralled out of control when a small gate at the stadium was breached, leading to a deadly stampede. The outrage on social media has been palpable, with netizens demanding accountability from the Congress government. The opposition BJP has also seized the opportunity to criticise the government, with leaders like Amit Malviya labeling the incident as a result of "lack of basic administrative foresight" and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy calling it "unforgivable." The government's response has done little to quell public anger. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced Rs. 10 lakh compensation for the families of the deceased and ordered a magisterial inquiry, but his statement, "Over two to three lakh people gathered. No one expected such a crowd," has been met with disbelief. Critics argue that such a turnout was entirely predictable given RCB's massive fanbase and the significance of the win. Deputy CM DK Shivakumar apologised for the overcrowding and cancelled the procession, but his earlier presence at the airport to greet the players has been cited as evidence of the government's attempt to politicise the event. The RCB victory parade stampede has exposed deep flaws in the Karnataka government's approach to public safety, with netizens and opposition leaders united in their demand for justice. The 11 lives lost and 33 injuries sustained are not seen as mere statistics but is a stark reminder of the cost of political insensitivity. For RCB fans, what should have been a moment of triumph has been overshadowed by tragedy, leaving a bitter taste in the wake of their long-awaited victory. The Congress-led Karnataka government now faces a reckoning, as Bengaluru mourns and the nation watches, demanding that such a preventable disaster never happens again.

Apple partners with Tata Group for iPhone, MacBook repairs in India
In a move that could expand iPhone manufacturer Apple Inc.'s footprint in India, the company has announced a partnership with the Tata Group to manage after-sales repairs for its iPhones and MacBook devices in the country. According to a report citing sources, the repairs will be conducted at Tata's existing iPhone assembly campus located in Karnataka. Tata is taking over the repair mandate from ICT Service Management Solutions, the Indian arm of Taiwan's Wistron. While Apple's authorized service centers across India handle basic repairs, devices requiring more complex servicing will now be shipped to Tata's specialized facility. Wistron's ICT unit will continue to provide services for its other clients, excluding Apple. The announcement comes despite warnings from US President Donald Trump, who urged Apple CEO Tim Cook to manufacture iPhones intended for the US market domestically—or face a 25% tariff. This marks the second instance in which the US president publicly discouraged Apple from expanding its manufacturing base in India. On his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that he told Cook to ensure iPhones for American consumers are made in the US, not in India or anywhere else. In May 2025, during a business trip to Qatar, Trump reiterated his opposition to Apple increasing its investments in Indian manufacturing.
