Speaking during his visit to Poonch, Mr. Sinha said, 'The proper rehabilitation of affected families is my top priority. The J&K administration, under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Hon'ble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, is committed to ensuring proper rehabilitation, enhanced border infrastructure, and security for the residents of border areas.'
He further added that efforts were underway to construct individual and community bunkers across Jammu and Kashmir under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme.
Lauding the courage and social harmony exhibited by the residents of Poonch, civil society members, and all communities, Mr. Sinha condemned Pakistan's actions, stating, 'Pakistan had shown its cowardice by targeting sacred Gurudwara Dera Santpura Nangali Sahib. In its despicable act, the terrorist country Pakistan had also targeted a temple and a mosque. By firing and heavy shelling on our sacred sites, the terror state Pakistan had tried to damage our social fabric.'
During his interaction with troops stationed at Poonch and Nowshera, Mr. Sinha praised the bravery and indomitable spirit of the soldiers involved in 'Operation Sindoor'. ''Dharma' has won and 'Adharma' has surrendered before your weapons and might,' he said.
Describing 'Operation Sindoor' as a testament to India's military and strategic strength, the Lieutenant Governor remarked, 'It has also proved that every inch of Pakistan's land is today the target of our brave soldiers and the enemy knows that if it indulges in future misadventure then it will not survive.'
Mr. Sinha added that India had decisively subdued the masterminds of Pakistani terrorists within 23 minutes. 'The next time if they raise their eyes towards Mother India, not a single area of theirs would remain untouched by punishment,' he warned.

Newly elected Telangana BJP chief felicitated at Pushpagiri Mutt

HYDERABAD: The newly elected state BJP president N Ramchander Rao was felicitated by the Centre for Brahmin Excellence (CBE) during a ceremony organised at Pushpagiri Mutt in Begumpet on Sunday. The ceremony was held in the presence of Pushpagiri Mutt Peetadhipathi Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya Sri Vidya Sankar Bharati Swamiji. Addressing the gathering, Ramchander Rao vowed to uphold democratic values and work for the upliftment of all sections of society. 'I entered politics to serve the people. My mission is to safeguard Sanatana Dharma and preserve the cultural heritage of our nation like a warrior,' he said. Highlighting the need for unity and cultural preservation, he remarked, 'To keep this nation safe and united, we must protect Dharma.

Ramchander Rao also emphasised that the political leadership must be rooted in democratic spirit, stating, 'A politician must not be aggressive, but should embody a democratic temperament.'

China sells HQ-9B to Egypt after India humiliates Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, President El-sisi likely to..., Xi plans to...

China President Xi Jinping New Delhi: The importance of air defense systems to protect against aerial and missile attacks has significantly increased considering the changing nature of warfare across the globe. Many countries around the world are purchasing air defense systems to safeguard their airspace. Egypt has also acquired the long-range HQ-9B air defense system from China. Egypt has announced that its military has already deployed the HQ-9B. Due to the policies of the US and European nations refusing to supply weapons, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's government has turned to China. However, an interesting point is that this Chinese system failed to protect Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. This could pose a new challenge for el-Sisi. Egyptian media reported that the country's military has officially begun operating the Chinese HQ-9B air defense system. This marks a major shift in Egypt's defense policy, as it had long relied on Western weapons. Egyptian Army Major General Sameer Farag stated that their army has inducted the HQ-9B system. He compared it to Russia's S-400 Triumph and the US-made Patriot PAC-3. All You Need To Know About HQ-9B: The HQ-9B was developed by China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation (CPMIEC) The HQ-9B falls under the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). HQ-9B is equipped with a highly modern radar system and has a range of up to 125 km. China developed it based on Russian S-300 technology. Pakistan has also acquired the HQ-9 air defense system from China. However, during Operation Sindoor, India's missiles successfully evaded this defense system. Pakistan uses the system to protect its airbases and other critical sites, but India managed to penetrate it and destroy Pakistani airbases.
