255 ‘Ungaludan Stalin' camps to be organised in Tirunelveli district
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, District Collector R. Sukumar said 255 camps will be organised in Tirunelveli Corporation, three municipalities, 17 town panchayats, 204 village panchayats in the district till October 7. On the first day, six camps to cover 19,165 households will be conducted. In the first month, till August 14, as many as 114 camps will be organised to cover 3,22,698 houses in the urban and the rural local bodies.
In urban areas, officials attached to 13 government departments offering 43 services will participate while officials from 15 departments will be present in the camps to be held in rural areas for attending the grievances pertaining to 45 services. Since the petitioners have to submit their applications in prescribed format, the applications and awareness pamphlets were being distributed through door-to-door campaign by the volunteers even as 114 supervisors are monitoring and coordinating this exercise.
Aadhar booths, police department's 'May I help you?' booths, preliminary screening health booths by the Public Health Department, E-seva centre will also be present in these camps.
'Regular review of the camps will be done by the senior officials designated for this purpose as the grievance will be redressed within 45 days from the date of the submission of the application,' Dr. Sukumar said.
The Collector appealed to the public to participate in the camps in their respective areas to avoid unnecessary crowding in other camps.
'We assure you that the camps will be organised in all the village panchayats, town panchayats, municipalities and the Corporation. Hence, you just wait for the camp to be organised in your respective area, participate in it to submit the prescribed application and get your grievance redressed. It will ensure quality of service. If you attend the camp in your neighbouring area, it will cause unnecessary crowding in those camps and exert undue pressure on the officials there,' the Collector appealed.
As of now, the district administration has planned to organise six camps a day and four days a week except Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.

From Kargil War To Op Sindoor: How India's Military Doctrine Has Transformed Over 26 Years
Last Updated: Operation Sindoor represents not just tactical success but the strategic coming of age of Indian statecraft and military science—an evolution born out of lessons learnt at Kargil Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, marks a watershed in India's military doctrine—setting a bold contrast against the Kargil War of 1999, even as it highlights the stark consistency in Pakistan's proxy warfare tactics over the last 26 years. During the Kargil War, Pakistani military units, masquerading as 'Mujahideen', infiltrated Indian territory in the harsh Himalayan heights. The incursion was initially denied by Pakistan, which falsely presented the conflict as an indigenous uprising. Only after significant losses and mounting international pressure did Pakistan reluctantly acknowledge its soldiers' presence, even refusing initially to repatriate its dead—acts that laid bare its strategy of denial and duplicity. The war itself saw fierce, protracted battles to reclaim lost ground, with India heavily reliant on foreign-supplied weapons such as Bofors artillery and MiG fighters. It took nearly three months of attrition, tremendous sacrifice, and international intervention to bring that chapter to a close. Fast forward to 2025, and the hallmarks of Pakistan's belligerence remain: use of 'non-state" actors as a smokescreen for state-backed attacks, prompt denial of direct involvement, and the deliberate muddying of fact in the aftermath of cross-border operations. The attack in Pahalgam, attributed initially to the Terrorist Resistance Front—a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy—was only the latest instance of this old playbook being put into action. Pakistan's political-military establishment, with General Munir at the helm now as Musharraf was then, allowed or directed these manoeuvres, often keeping civilian leadership in the dark or at best at arm's length. Yet, what has transformed dramatically since Kargil is India's approach—rooted in indigenous strength and technological sophistication. Operation Sindoor was conceived and executed as a limited but decisive offensive, emphasising rapid, high-precision strikes deep into enemy territory. Within 23 minutes, India's armed forces struck nine terror hubs—four deep in Pakistan's Punjab, an assault reach not witnessed since 1971—with loitering munitions, BrahMos missiles, and electronic warfare assets rendering Pakistan's air defences impotent. The integration of real-time surveillance, domestically-developed guided munitions, and instant post-strike damage assessments showcased an Indian military that is no longer dependent on imported tools. The symbolism of this shift cannot be overstated. India's ability to penetrate deep, calibrated by political restraint but technological confidence, signals a new era where the fog of proxy war is lifted and accountability is enforced with precision. The response now is not limited to recapturing peaks but extends to redefining the deterrence paradigm—targeting not just the proxy but its patron, on their soil, using indigenous weaponry and homegrown innovation. Through two-and-a-half decades, Pakistan's policy—fomenting terror under the guise of plausible deniability—remains frozen in time. What has changed utterly is India's readiness and capability to respond: more agile, far less constrained by diplomatic calculus, and fuelled not by foreign dependence but proud self-reliance. Operation Sindoor thus represents not just tactical success but the strategic coming of age of Indian statecraft and military science—an evolution born out of lessons learnt at Kargil, now brought to fruition on its own terms. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

US Praises Pakistan's 'Anti-Terror' Efforts After Banning TRF Over Pahalgam Attack, Dar Thanks Rubio
In a move that could spark outrage in India, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio thanked Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar for "partnership in countering terrorism" three months after the US designated TRF, a Lashkar-e-Taiba front, as a terror group responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam massacre that killed 26 civilians in Jammu & Kashmir. India has long accused Pakistan of sponsoring such groups. Islamabad, meanwhile, is seeking a trade deal with the US and claimed the Kashmir issue was also on the agenda. The irony is glaring: even as Pakistan faces global scrutiny for sheltering LeT-linked networks, Washington seems eager to deepen ties. Pak Deputy PM Dar met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington. Dar pitched 'trade not aid,' during an event while thanking US for its praise.#india #pakistan #unitedstates #marcorubio #ishaqdar #uspakistanrelations #trf #lashkaretaiba #pahalgamattack #indiaus #islamabadwashington #counterterrorism #ishaqdar #marcorubio #kashmirkillings #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews Read More
