Speaker inaugurates National e-Vidhan Application Seva Centre
Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Monday inaugurated the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) Seva Centre at the Delhi Legislative Assembly Complex and marked the successful completion of its first phase. The Monsoon Session of the Delhi Assembly is likely to be held in the first week of August, according to Assembly sources. A Bill to regulate private school fees, which is currently in the form of an ordinance, is to be discussed and passed during the session. 'The inauguration of the NeVA Seva Centre and the successful completion of the first phase of NeVA marks a critical milestone in our commitment to a digital, transparent, and sustainable legislature. This initiative reflects our alignment with the Prime Minister's vision of 'Digital India', paperless governance, and the transformative idea of 'One Nation, One Application',' he said. Mr. Gupta said that it is unfortunate that earlier governments made no sincere efforts in this direction and with NeVA, the Assembly is now bridging that gap and paving the way for a more accountable and modern legislative ecosystem. 'The first batch of MLAs actively participated and showed keen interest in the working of the application. Each Member was provided with a smartphone preloaded with the NeVA application, allowing seamless access to the list of business, legislative questions, documents, and session updates,' as per a statement from the Assembly Secretariat. The three-day training programme, scheduled from July 21 to 23, is designed to equip MLAs with practical knowledge of the NeVA platform's tools and functionalities. The training will ensure their effective participation in the upcoming Monsoon Session by enabling a smooth transition to paperless legislative functioning.

Masterstroke by Modi govt as India fast-tracks construction of new road along LAC that will make China 'blind' to Indian troops due to...
New Delhi: Following the Galwan Valley clash in 2020 amid a border standoff with China, India has fast-tracked the construction of the new road. Additionally, to boost border infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), an alternate route to the strategic Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) sector in Ladakh, will be ready next year which will be free of surveillance by Chinese soldiers. It will reduce travel time drastically The 130-km-long new route, via Sasoma-Saser La-Saser Brangsa-Gapshan-DBO, will be a secure and faster alternative to the existing Darbuk-Shyok-DBO (DSDBO) road, which is vulnerable to Chinese surveillance, reports India Today. It further says that the travel time will be down from 2 days to 12 hours as the new road, being built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), will reduce the distance from Leh to DBO by 79 km, reducing the commuting time drastically. How will it help Indian troops? This will not only allow India to mobilise troops without being exposed to Chinese observation, but will smoothen logistics movement in the critical border area. The world's highest airstrip at 16,614 feet is located at Daulat Beg Oldie. It holds immense strategic value due to its proximity to the Karakoram Pass and the contentious Depsang region. BRO upgrades bridges Defence sources said the BRO has upgraded nine bridges on the new route from 40-tonne to 70-tonne load capacity to facilitate the movement of heavier vehicles and artillery. Trials with Bofors and other systems have already been conducted successfully. The road originates from Sasoma in the Nubra Valley, close to the Siachen base camp. It will allow direct connectivity to DBO without needing to cross Leh. BRO's 'Project Vijayak' is undertaking the construction from Sasoma to Saser Brangsa, while 'Project Himank' is looking after the project to DBO. The total estimated budget is Rs 500 crore.

India's War Doctrine Transformed Post Operation Sindoor: Future Weapons Like BrahMos-2, AI Drones & Laser Tech Set To Make Nation A Global Military Superpower
New Delhi: Something shifted after Operation Sindoor, not only in files or formal discussions, but in the way India now envisions the idea of war itself. In May 2025, when Indian armed forces took down terror camps buried deep within Pakistan and the region it controls in Kashmir, the message echoed far and wide. Each strike was exact. No soldier was lost. There were no explanations issued. Since then, India has been moving fast. Defence is no longer about response. It is about redefining. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Indian Navy and an entire ecosystem of private defence innovators are shaping what now looks like the next stage of military evolution. New Missiles, Unseen Reach India is not standing by for threats. It is positioning itself to outpace them. The Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, developed with direct naval support, is engineered to penetrate enemy aircraft carriers more than 1,000 km from shore. The BrahMos-II is being prepared to travel over 1,500 km in minutes, too fast and too silent for radar to follow. Then comes Rudram, which is built to silence enemy radars, communication lines and jamming systems with precise impact. Its design will not cause partial damage, it is meant to erase what the enemy sees and hears. Air Shields, Powered Up When waves of drones entered Indian skies during Operation Sindoor, the reaction was measured and direct. India's Akash and QRSAM systems stepped up, showing the years of investment in air defence had taken root. More is on the way. In the pipeline now are D4S anti-drone squads, high-powered laser walls and radars with sweeping range. All designed and built indigenously. The Ocean Has a New Pulse Beneath the surface, another transformation is shaping the future. Three new Scorpène-class submarines are being assembled. Indian naval ships like INS Vikrant and INS Visakhapatnam are now on active watch across maritime choke points, armed with next-gen missiles and unmanned combat drones. Mumbai's shipyards are growing into major strategic zones. With Rs 4,000 to 5,000 crore already earmarked, these shipyards will soon become core centres for submarine and warship manufacturing. The Sky Now Sees And Bites The battlefield is evolving. Future missions will unfold in the air, led by machines that do not tire. Presently under development, the SWiFT-K suicide drone is built to vanish from radar and strike targets using AI-generated guidance. The American MQ-9B Predators, now inducted into service, are conducting surveillance across key fronts like Ladakh and the Indian Ocean. India's own UAVs are not far behind. The TAPAS-BH for surveillance and the WarHawk drone for advanced targeting are both approaching combat readiness. Intelligence That Thinks for Itself Artificial intelligence is now embedded into India's defence strategy. It processes surveillance data, tracks threats and selects targets. It is like a silent commander, who is always alert and never misses details. AI systems today are guiding Indian tanks, drones and battlefield sensors. During Operation Sindoor, real-time data from ISRO satellites allowed forces to act with surgical accuracy. No guesswork. Just execution. What Lies Ahead? India is preparing for the future with a clear roadmap – 87 MALE drones for round-the-clock border monitoring; AMCA fifth-generation stealth fighter jets, which would be ready by 2030; Project Kusha, a fully indigenous air defence platform matching S-400 strength; and laser-based interceptors to disable missiles before they land. India's defence exports are rising steadily. BrahMos missiles, bulletproof gear and custom hardware are now entering markets across Asia, the Gulf and even parts of Europe. What Operation Sindoor Marked More than a battlefield decision, the mission became a statement of intent. India has stepped into a new era, one where it does not wait to absorb threats, but moves to end them before they form. The signal has reached far beyond its borders. Nations have observed India's actions. The next time a rogue drone appears or a terror base is detected in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, there will be no hesitation. There will be action. And that action will come from weapons made in India. Hypersonic. AI-driven. Satellite-tracked. India is not on the road to becoming a military power. It has already arrived.
