Welcome ‘Sinduri': Bihar couple names newborn girl after Army op
PATNA: A couple in Bihar has named their newborn baby after the armed forces' 'Operation Sindoor' targeted against terrorists' hubs in Pakistan and PoK as a retaliatory response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Santosh Kumar Mandal (30) and his wife Rakhi Kumari (23), residents of Balthi Maheshpur in Katihar district, named their baby girl 'Sinduri'. 'Our baby was born on the day the Indian Army successfully launched 'Operation Sindoor'. It was a proud moment not only for us but also for the entire nation,' said Santosh, who became father of his second daughter on May 7. Santosh's wife Rakhi was admitted to Katihar Seva Sadan on May 7 early morning, where she delivered the baby girl after a surgery. Asked how the idea struck him, Santosh said, 'The airstrikes into Pakistan inculcated a sense of patriotism in me. I immediately decided to name my newborn daughter after the operation. My wife also approved it, and the baby was named Sinduri. May 7 will be a memorable day for the nation as well as our family. We will celebrate Sinduri's birthday every year which coincides with Operation Sindoor.' The parents want to encourage Sinduri to join the Air Force after completing her studies. 'Though we come from a lower middleclass family, we will leave no stone unturned to fulfil our dream,' Santosh told this reporter over phone on Thursday.

Operation Sindoor inspires Bihar couple to name their newborn ‘Sinduri'; family says ‘matter of pride'
Inspired by a deep sense of patriotism, a couple, Santosh Mandal and Rakhi Kumari, in Bihar has chosen to name their newborn daughter 'Sinduri' after Operation Sindoor, a joint military move by India into Pakistan and PoK in early hours of Wednesday as a justice to the Pahalgam victims. Mandal and Kumari's daughter was born on the same day when India launched missile strikes. Seeing the events taking place and with motivation, the duo gave her this name. 'The victory over Pakistan and the birth of our daughter on the same day, both are a matter of pride for our family,' News18 quoted them as saying. Relatives Kundan Kumar and Simple Devi said the family believes the coincidence a matter of great pride. The couple, residents of Balthi Maheshpur village in Bihar's Katihar district, named their newborn Sinduri as a heartfelt tribute, reflecting the profound patriotism and emotional connection many Indians share with Operation Sindoor. Pappu Kumar, manager of the private nursing home Katihar Seva Sadan where the couple's daughter was born, noted that this gesture clearly illustrates how deeply patriotism resonates with every Indian. Operation Sindoor takes its name from the red vermilion (sindoor) traditionally worn by Hindu women to symbolise their marital status. The name gained deeper significance following the Pahalgam terror attack, where several women saw their husbands, including an Indian Navy officer, killed before their eyes. Women officers Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi briefed the nation yesterday after Operation Sindoor.

Mango arrivals surge, prices drop
Indore: The arrival of mangoes from Gujarat and southern states to the city's largest Choithram market has increased, while supply from local farms near Indore has also started, leading to a decrease in the prices of most varieties in the market. The supply of the new season's harvest includes Kesar from Gujarat, Sinduri from southern states, and Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri. The daily supply of mangoes in the Choithram market has increased to nearly 15-20 truckloads (each carrying 12 to 18 tonnes) compared to around 10 truckloads a week ago, according to fruit traders and dealers. Manohar Dhawan, a mango dealer in the Choithram market, said, "The daily supply of mangoes in Choithram market has reached around 15-20 truckloads. Supply from many new centres has started, including local farms in the vicinity of Indore. The supply of mangoes is expected to rise further in a fortnight from new centres, and this is expected to further dampen the prices." Fruit dealers said the daily supply of mangoes has increased in the market, but demand has not risen in the same manner. "Mango supply has increased, but demand has not picked up as desired because this year the taste in mangoes, especially the 'badam variety', is not good. The new supplies, which started recently, are of good quality, and with these supplies, we are anticipating better demand," said Amrit Agrawal, a semi-wholesaler of mangoes from Indore. Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri in Maharashtra are priced at Rs 2,200-2,500 per box (each box carrying 16 kg) compared to 2,500-3,000 per box last season, said traders in the Choithram market. Other varieties like Sinduri are offered at Rs 80-90 per kg, Kesar at Rs 100-120 per kg, and Badam at Rs 70-80 per kg, according to traders.
