89-year-old still awaits land granted to her freedom fighter husband in 1969
BENGALURU: 'Nowhere in the world's history, in any civilisation, has such an inordinate delay been caused by any government. A delay of 55 years is an insult to the term humanity. Therefore, Revenue Department officials in Tumakuru should be honoured with a 'Special Service Medal' in recognition of their 'meritorious service'...' This is how NK Lalithambika, 89-year-old widow of a freedom fighter from Tumakuru district, complained to Upa Lokayukta Justice B Veerappa against the state authorities, who she alleged neither handed over the possession of a 4-acre 'hillock' land granted to her husband in 1969 nor allotted any alternative land, under the Freedom Fighters Quota. The tragic part is that, after her husband TS Virupakshappa died, Lalithambika has been fighting for the possession of the land for 39 years, which is more than the period her husband fought for freedom. The land was allotted in Survey No. 26, Plot No. 7 at Vaddarahalli village in Tumakuru taluk in 1969. Disheartened by her battle, Justice Veerappa wrote to the Revenue Minister in the first week of August, stating that the land allotted was a 'hillock' that was unfit for cultivation. Even if it is considered, neither the possession of the said land was handed over, nor was an alternative land allotted to the elderly lady.

Defence self-reliance: PM Modi calls for Made-in-India fighter jet engines; big ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat' push
AI image Marking the 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on India's scientific and engineering talent to take the lead in designing and building jet engines for the country's own fighter aircraft, a move he said was vital for true defence self-reliance. Speaking from the Red Fort, PM Modi linked the appeal to his government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision, which aims to make India less dependent on foreign suppliers across key sectors. 'Today, I urge the young scientists, talented youth, engineers, professionals, and all departments of the Government that we should have our jet engines for our own Made in India fighter jets,' he said. The Prime Minister tied his remarks to Operation Sindoor , an operation he described as proof of India's growing military strength. 'Operation Sindoor showcased the marvel of India's military prowess, leaving our enemies stunned and unable to comprehend the advanced arms and ammunition that neutralised them in mere seconds,' he said. Without the Aatmanirbhar Bharat approach, he argued, such a large-scale and decisive mission would have been far harder to pull off. PM Modi's push comes as India continues to expand its indigenous fighter programme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) recently received its second US-made GE-404 engine for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mark 1A programme, with 12 more expected by the end of this financial year. While these engines are critical for current production, the government has long aimed to reduce such reliance by developing home-grown alternatives. Delays in US deliveries, caused by supply chain disruptions, have already prompted India to seek multiple foreign partners for co-development. Talks are underway with Rolls-Royce in the UK, Safran in France, and a Japanese defence manufacturer, with offers on the table for technology transfer and joint production. The Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO ) will assess these proposals, according to a Bloomberg report. The need for speed is clear. India's Air Chief Marshal A P Singh recently warned that delays in acquiring critical equipment 'pose a serious challenge to national defence readiness,' stressing the air force needs to induct around 40 fighters a year to maintain combat strength. With just 30 active squadrons against an authorised 42.5, the gap is widening. PM Modi also encouraged citizens to support Aatmanirbhar Bharat by buying locally made products, noting that such choices strengthen both the economy and national security. In a separate announcement, he revealed progress on India's semiconductor mission, promising that 'Made in India' chips would reach the market by year-end.

During his address, the prime minister emphasised how Operation Sindoor showed the 'wonders of Made in India' to the world. We have seen the wonders of Made in India in #OperationSindoor. Even the enemy was shocked at the kind of ammunition that was destroying them within seconds," PM Modi said. 'Had we not been self-reliant, would we have been able to carry out Operation Sindoor at such a level? In the last 10 years, we set our target to become self-reliant in the defence sector, and today we are seeing the results,' he furthered. The prime minister also spoke about the 'Samudra Manthan' initiative, which focuses on unearthing oil and gas reserves in the sea. 'We are now also heading towards 'Samudra Manthan'. Taking this forward, we want to work in Mission Mode to look for the oil and gas reserves in the sea. So, India is about to launch the National Deep Water Exploration Mission,' he said.
