"Ready to give my life for India": Massive crowd in Chandigarh respond to civil defence call amid tensions with Pakistan
Chandigarh [India], May 10 (ANI): In an extraordinary display of unity and nationalism amid escalated tensions between India and Pakistan, youths gathered in large numbers in Chandigarh following a local announcement calling for civil defence volunteers. The atmosphere quickly turned electric as chants of 'Pakistan Murdabad' echoed through the gathering crowds, reflecting public sentiment and readiness to serve in times of national need. Muskan, a Chandigarh local, said, 'We are here to support the Army. They are doing so much for us, and we also want to do something for our Army.' Speaking to ANI, another resident, Karan Chopra, said, 'I am ready to give my life for India. We have filed the form; we are ready to do whatever is expected from us...' Long lines were seen across the city after the announcement, with hundreds waiting to register as volunteers to help with civil assistance. Parambir Singh, a resident of Chandigarh, said, 'We are here to provide our services to our nation. We have filled the form (for volunteer service).' Another local, Sanjana Arora, emphasised that they all want to help the Indian Army and respond to Pakistan's 'continued provocations.' 'We were called here by the administration, and it's incredible to see such a massive turnout of young people. So many youths have gathered today to express their support for India and our armed forces. The energy here is remarkable, even those who usually don't wake up early have shown up in huge numbers. Everyone is eager to know when they can enter because we all want to stand with our soldiers, who are bravely responding to Pakistan's continued provocations,' she said. 'The government's firm stance has truly inspired us to step up and fulfil our civil responsibilities. With this kind of unity on display, no one in the world can question the spirit of our country. And yes, we will also continue to provide updates on developments from Pakistan,' the local further said. Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Defence on Operation Sindoor, Indian Army Colonel Sofiya Qureshi stated that precision strikes were carried out on Pakistani military targets in Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Chunian, as well as radar sites at Pasrur and Sialkot aviation bases, using air-launched weapons from Indian fighter aircraft. Qureshi also outlined the extent of Pakistan's aggression, which included the use of Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs), long-range weapons, loitering ammunition, and fighter jets to target India's military structures. India launched the retaliatory strikes immediately after Pakistan attacked 26 locations across India on Saturday, the sources told ANI. Intermittent firing is still going on at several places along the Line of Control (LoC). Indian strikes hit at least four airbases in Pakistan in the early hours of Saturday, top government sources said, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate. (ANI)

Sea of youth volunteers turn up 7 hours early in Chandigarh, pledge to serve the nation in Civil Defence drive
In a remarkable show of patriotism and civic responsibility, thousands of young volunteers in Chandigarh turned up nearly seven hours before the scheduled reporting time for the Civil Defence Volunteer training program organised by the Union Territory Administration. The event, initially slated to begin at 12:15 PM on Saturday at Tagore Theatre, witnessed such a massive turnout that authorities had to shift a large number of participants to Tiranga Ground in Sector 17 to accommodate the overflow. Despite the intense summer heat and no formal duty assignments, the youth remained energetic and enthusiastic throughout the day. Loud chants of 'Vande Mataram' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' filled the air as volunteers responded with thunderous 'High, Sir!' when asked, 'How's the Josh?' by officials. #WATCH | Chandigarh | A local, Karan Chopra says, "I am ready to give my life for India. We have filed the form; we are ready to do whatever is expected from us…" — ANI (@ANI) May 10, 2025 The training session focused on basic emergency preparedness, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first-aid techniques, how to evacuate injured persons, and basic fire safety measures. This initiative is part of a broader civil defence effort to equip citizens, especially youth, with life-saving skills amid growing border and internal security tensions. Many of the participants expressed a deep desire to contribute meaningfully to the nation's safety. Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria, who visited Tiranga Ground to witness the energy firsthand, praised the youth's commitment. 'This overwhelming participation is proof that India's youth is ready—not just in words, but in spirit and action—to serve the country when called upon,' he said. The event has become a symbol of national unity and a reminder that in times of uncertainty, India's young citizens are prepared to rise to the occasion—long before they're even asked.
