"Proudly Indian": Amul Praises Women Officers Who Led Op Sindoor Briefing
New Delhi:
Dairy giant Amul has released a topical, paying tribute to the two women officers who led India's military briefing on Operation Sindoor.
Known for its witty takes on current events, Amul captured the moment with a doodle illustration showing Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi at a press podium. The brand's signature blue-haired girl is seen saluting them, while fighter jets and scenes of aerial strikes form the background.
The artwork carries the pun-filled tagline, "Send them Pakking", using the word "Pak" as a play on "Pakistan." The bottom of the topical reads, "Amul, proudly Indian."

The illustration came after India launched Operation Sindoor, carrying out precision air and ground strikes targeting nine terror infrastructure sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This came in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people.
The press briefing on Operation Sindoor was led by Wing Commander Singh and Colonel Qureshi, who outlined details of the tri-services operation to the media.
As part of Operation Sindoor, India deployed Rafale fighter jets armed with SCALP and HAMMER missiles during the 25-minute operation, targeting locations such as Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sialkot, and Muzaffarabad. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh confirmed that over 100 terrorists were killed in the strikes.
Pakistan also launched drone and missile attacks, aiming at Indian military installations in Jammu, Udhampur, and Pathankot. India successfully intercepted the incoming threats, reporting no casualties.
On Friday morning, Pakistani troops resumed firing along the LoC in the Kupwara and Uri sectors. India responded forcefully. The exchange came a day after heavy Pakistani shelling killed 16 Indian civilians, including five children and three women.
Air raid sirens were sounded in Chandigarh following warnings from the nearby Air Force Station about a possible aerial threat. Residents were advised to remain indoors and avoid balconies.
India also intercepted a second wave of Pakistani missile and drone strikes, which targeted regions in Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Gujarat. In response to the threat, authorities enforced blackouts overnight in several border cities, including Jammu, Srinagar, Bikaner, Jodhpur, and Barmer.

As Indians leave Israel, Odia student decides to stay back
1 2 Rourkela: In the midst of escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, compounded by the US' recent bombing of nuclear sites in Iran, an Odia student has taken the decision to stay back in Israel even as other Indians are returning home. Despite the Indian govt's efforts to evacuate its nationals from the conflict zone, Taranga Dehury, a 29-year-old post-doctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has opted to stay back, hoping the situation will stabilise soon. He cited a decrease in the frequency of missile strikes on Israel as a reason for his decision. "I have been hearing the sound of sirens for incoming missiles, drones and rockets. But they are not in our area," Dehury told TOI from Israel. A resident of Maranda village in Angul district, he has been conducting post-doctoral research at the university's Institute of Chemistry since March this year. The Indian Embassy in Israel initiated an evacuation operation on Sunday, but Dehury has chosen not to register for the process. "The places particularly affected, like Tel Aviv, Central and North Israel, are about 60km from my university campus. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Write Better, Work Smarter With This Desktop App Grammarly Install Now Undo The frequency of missile strikes on these places has decreased over the last three days," said Dehury, who remains focused on his studies. "I am expecting the situation to improve soon. Although the operation to evacuate Indians was started by the Indian govt, I decided not to leave," he explained. "If it becomes necessary to leave for safety reasons, I will decide at that time." The recent escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict has significantly disrupted daily life in the region. The Hebrew University, along with other institutions, had temporarily closed doors before reopening last Thursday. But following the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday, Israel's Home Front Command issued new guidelines, restricting activities to essential services and suspending educational activities and gatherings. Like Dehury, Satyaranjan Biswal, another student from Odisha studying at the Hebrew University, has apparently decided to stay back in Israel. But despite repeated attempts, he could not be contacted.

BJP MLA slams Cong for ‘pro-terror' stand
Lucknow: BJP MLA from Sarojininagar, Rajeshwar Singh, on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the , accusing it of adopting a "pro-terrorism" stance by siding with Iran and vilifying Israel. Singh condemned Congress for what he termed a "shocking and shameful" defence of Iran, a country he described as a known sponsor of and a rogue nuclear aspirant. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "While the global community — from the United States to Europe and Israel — is uniting against Iran-backed terror networks, Congress has chosen to defend Tehran and criticise Israel, the only democracy in the region," Singh said. Taking strong exception to Congress referring to Iran as a "long-standing friend," Singh reminded the public that Iran had repeatedly insulted India over Kashmir, interfered in domestic matters like the CAA protests and Delhi riots, and echoed Pakistan-like narratives on Muslim persecution. "A nuclear Iran is not Israel's crisis alone — it's a global nightmare," Singh warned. Calling for national unity, he urged all political parties and citizens to reject Congress's alleged soft stance on terror regimes.

Akhilesh: Storing poll data must, will oppose EC move
Lucknow: Stressing that it is important to store election data, Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the decision of the Election Commission to destroy the video footage of the election process after 45 days could have been taken "under pressure from the BJP". "We will oppose the EC's decision. If the question is where to store the data, there are CCTV cameras installed in most houses and shops in the country. Data is stored even in homes and shops," Akhilesh said. "This govt claims that the biggest data centres in the country are being built in Uttar Pradesh . The state govt is announcing special packages for data centre owners. When such big data centres are being built, how can there be no space to store election data," he asked. "It is important that the election data is stored and remains safe. It appears that the Election Commission is taking such a decision under pressure from the BJP," Yadav said. In an apparent reference to Kundarki bypolls, he said that the CCTV footage showed policemen in civic dress coming out after voting. "They say privacy is being violated. This is not about privacy. This is a mafia act by the police to loot votes. It should be exposed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Este verano disfruta de 50GB gratis! Simyo Haz clic aquí Undo We will tell the Election Commission that our privacy will not be violated by this. If they want affidavits from voters, we will request voters to submit them. Whatever is captured in CCTV cameras of Kundarki should be telecast on the TV channels to show who have cast the vote," he said, adding that even powerful countries like America were conducting election through ballots. On Indians stranded abroad, the SP chief said, "Some people from Uttar Pradesh have gone on a tour. I spoke to them. They said 2,500-3,000 people are stranded, and India is not helping. Flights are returning empty, but there is no one to bring them back. Since June 19, none from this group could return. They demand that the govt and the opposition should look into their issue." "I appeal to the govt to arrange special flights and resort to special diplomatic methods to bring back Indian nationals stranded in other countries," Yadav said.
