Before-After Satellite Images Show Operation Sindoor's Impact On Pakistan's Terror Camps, Airfields
IAF had said that it successfully executed its assigned tasks with precision and in line with national objectives during the operation.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) have shared satellite images depicting the destruction of the terror camps and airfields in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) caused by IAF's coordinated precision strikes under Operation Sindoor.
The images show before and after comparison of two of the prominent targets, Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and the other at Lashkar-e-Taiba's base Muridke in Punjab province of Pakistan, as well as India's retaliatory strikes on Pakistan's air defence radars and airfields.
IAF had said that it successfully executed its assigned tasks with precision and in line with national objectives during the operation.
'This multi-dimensional operation successfully neutralised terrorist threats, deterred Pakistani aggression, and reinforced India's zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism, all while maintaining strategic restraint and international support," the Indian forces added.

Markaz Taiba in Muridke was established in the year 2000 and was the most important training centre of LeT in Nangal Sahdan. The site served as the mushrooming ground for radicalisation of students to motivate them to join armed jihad. This Markaz enrols around 1000 students in different courses annually thereby highlighting the role of this Markaz in churning out terror entities for LeT annually.

In Bahawalpur, Indian armed forces targeted Markaz Subhan Allah, which has been operational since 2015, is the main centre of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) for training and indoctrination and serves as its operational headquarters.
The terror camp is linked to JeM's planning of terrorist activities, including the Pulwama attack on February 14, 2019. The Markaz comprises the residences of JeM Chief Maulana Masood Azhar, JeM's de-facto Chief Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar, Maulana Ammar, and other family members of Masood Azhar.
Air Strikes At Pakistan's Airbases
Tensions between India and Pakistan soared significantly after the Indian armed forces on Wednesday conducted precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan. Islamabad then attempted to attack a number of military installations and civilian population along India's northern and western borders.
Between 8 and 10 May, IAF fighter jets struck 11 military air bases across Pakistan in a coordinated, precision-led campaign. The objective was to cripple Pakistan air force's capability to launch aerial attacks using drones and fighter jets. 'The Indian Air Force had their assets up in the sky," DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said.
11 bases were damaged in Pakistan on the intervening night of May 9 and May 10, India's counter-military actions damaged major air force camps of Pakistan. 'Within 3 hours 11 bases were attacked, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skaru, Bholari and Jacobabad," it added.
Before and after images of the Pakistani airfields post Operation Sindoor:
The Indian forces struck various ammunition depots and bases like Sagodha and Bholari, which housed F-16s and JF-17 fighter jets were hit. This led to the destruction of 20% infrastructure of Pakistan's air force.
Operation Sindoor
India launched 'precision strikes" under Operation Sindoor on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The strikes killed at least 10 family members of JeM chief Masood Azhar and four close aides.
The sites targeted were the Pakistani bases at Rafiqui (Shorkot, Jhang), Murid (Chakwal), Nur Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi) Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunian (Kasur). In the strikes, the air bases in Skardu, Bholari, Jacobabad and Sargodha suffered extensive damage.

However, New Delhi and Islamabad announced a ceasefire on Saturday, but hours after, Pakistan violated the 'understanding' by launching drones across the International Border and LoC.
Sunday night was the 'first calm" night along the Line of Control (LoC) in recent days, the Indian Army said.

Onus on Pakistan to normalise ties with India: Tharoor
New Delhi: India no longer has the appetite to take the first step in normalising ties with Pakistan after repeated betrayals, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said on Tuesday, urging Islamabad to demonstrate sincerity by dismantling terror networks operating from its soil. He was speaking at the launch of the book 'Whither India-Pakistan Relations Today?', an anthology edited by former ambassador Surendra Kumar. The Thiruvananthapuram MP said every Indian attempt at outreach -- from Jawaharlal Nehru's pact with Liaqat Ali Khan in 1950, to Atal Bihari Vajpayee's bus journey to Lahore in 1999, and Narendra Modi's Lahore visit in 2015 -- had been 'betrayed' by hostility from across the border. 'Given the record of Pakistani behaviour, the onus is on them. They're the ones who have to take the first steps to show some sincerity about dismantling terror infrastructure on their soil. 'Why can't they be serious about shutting down these terror camps? Everyone knows where they are. The UN committee has a list of 52 names of individuals, organisations and places in Pakistan. It's not that Pakistan doesn't know they exist,' Tharoor said. He said, 'Shut them down, arrest some of these characters, show some serious intent.' India would be more than willing to reciprocate once such action is taken, but won't take the first step now, the Congress leader said. Recalling the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, Tharoor said India had provided 'overwhelming evidence' of Pakistani involvement, including live intercepts and dossiers, yet 'not one mastermind has been prosecuted'. He noted that New Delhi showed 'extraordinary restraint' after attacks, but subsequent provocations left India with little choice, leading to surgical strikes in 2016 and 'Operation Sindoor'. 'In my book Pax Indica, which was published in 2012, I had warned that if there was ever another Mumbai-like attack of comparable impact, with clear evidence of Pakistani complicity, the restraint we had shown in 2008 might become impossible and all bets would be off. 'And indeed, that is exactly what happened. No democratic government, least of all in India with its long record of betrayals by Pakistan, could sit idle while its neighbour assaults its civilians and innocent holidaymakers with impunity,' he explained. Tharoor also stressed that 'peace and tranquillity on the borders is indispensable to our national interest', and cited the reconciliation between France and Germany after World War II, as well as the United States' eventual ties with Vietnam, as examples of adversaries turning into partners. The discussion was also joined by former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal, former Indian ambassador to Pakistan T C A Raghavan, ex-Army chief general Deepak Kapoor and academician Amitabh Mattoo.

Why Amit Shah's Plan To Amend The Constitution Could Be Dangerous
The Indian government is trying to amend the constitution in a big way. The 130th Constitution Amendment Bill, 2025, proposed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, if passed, will give governors and LGs unprecedented power to remove ministers and chief ministers. It also allows the president to sack the prime minister – though we know that chances of a sitting prime minister being arrested by central agencies they control are close to zero. It says if the prime minister, chief ministers, or ministers are arrested and detained continuously for 30 days on charges attracting a jail term of five years or more, the president, governors, and LGs can remove them, regardless of whether or not they are convicted. In case the order doesn't go through on time, they will automatically cease to remain in their position. The president or governor will remove them on the advice of the prime minister or the chief minister. Now, it's being hailed by some admirers as echoing PM Modi's 'Naa Khaunga Naa Khane dunga' resolve – but there are serious dangers ahead. Watch the full video to know more. This article went live on August twenty-first, two thousand twenty five, at eight minutes past one in the afternoon.

ABRSM holds conference on five years of NEP at SVU
Tirupati: A national conference on 'NEP 2020 @ 5 Years: Policy, Practice, and Progress' was held at Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati on Wednesday under the joint auspices of Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Maha Sangh (ABRSM) and Voice of Tirupati Academicians. Addressing the gathering, ABRSM State President Prof YV Rami Reddy said the organisation aims to conduct 500 such conferences across Indian universities to collate suggestions and submit them to the Central Government. SV University Vice Chancellor Prof Ch Appa Rao highlighted that the National Education Policy (NEP) has been implemented 'from KG to PG' across most states in the past five years. Former V-C of University of Hyderabad Prof Podili Appa Rao noted that India's education system had seen no major changes for 37 years until the introduction of NEP 2020 by the Centre under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aligning with global advancements in education, science, and technology. ABRSM National Joint Organising Secretary Gunta Laxman stressed that the policy empowers Indian students to be knowledge creators rather than mere knowledge followers. He urged the Centre and states to raise education spending to 6 percent of GDP to strengthen infrastructure for the nation's 26 crore school students. The event was attended by ABRSM State Vice President Prof C Vani, Voice of Tirupati Academicians Convener Prof M Rajasekhar, Dr G Rajasekhar and others.
