Those who targeted ‘sindoor' of India's daughters lost their clan: Yogi
'Operation Sindoor is a symbol of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army's commitment and sensitivity towards the country's sisters and daughters. The bravery of the armed forces has full support of people,' he said reviewing civil defence preparations during the mock drill in Lucknow.
'Those who tried to snatch the 'sindoor' (vermilion) of India's sisters and daughters had to lose their 'khandaan' (clan),' he added.
Terming the Indian forces' response to the Pahalgam terror attack as 'decisive', he said: 'We won't let anyone play with the honour and pride of the nation. The country comes first. Those who conspire against 'Bharat Mata' will have to face the consequences.'
Adityanath voiced strong support for the armed forces, asserting that national security remains the top priority — whether in villages, cities, or neighbourhoods. He urged not just NCC cadets, homeguards, and scouts, but every citizen to step forward and support security agencies, stressing that protecting the nation is a shared responsibility.
He also congratulated the three armed forces, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the defence minister and the Union Cabinet on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh for their firm response to the Pahalgam incident. He offered condolences to the families of Indians who lost their lives in the attack.
The CM interacted with officials from various civil defence agencies to assess their preparedness. He said mock drills like these help the general public understand what steps to take in emergencies, which is essential for national security.
As soon as the mock drill was launched by the NDRF, sirens went off, followed by a blackout to simulate an enemy airstrike. Civilians moved to safe zones, and once the second siren declared the end of the threat, the injured were given first aid. Firefighters, medical staff, and rescue teams stepped in to assist. Citizens were also trained on how to deal with collapsed structures and chemical attacks.

AI171 crash: Probe pending in India, new US aviation regulator boss rules out fuel switch glitch
Commenting on the devastating Air India plane crash, the new head of the US's Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), Bryan Bedford, dismissed the possibility of an inadvertent movement of the aircraft's fuel control switch. read more The wreckage of the Air India plane that crashed moments after taking off from the Ahmedabad airport, lies on a building, in Ahmedabad. Both switches feeding fuel to the two engines of Air India flight 171 were cut off followed before the plane crashed in Ahmedabad, seconds after taking off, the first investigation report into the crash has revealed. PTI As the investigation into the Air India 171 plane crash continues, the new head of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ruled out mechanical issues as the cause behind the crash in Ahmedabad. The new FAA boss went on to suggest that the fuel control switches on the doomed AI 171 were manually moved, hinting at a pilot error. In a statement on the matter, FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford dismissed the possibility of an inadvertent movement of the aircraft's fuel control switch. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We can say with a high level of confidence it doesn't appear to be a mechanical issue with the Boeing fuel control unit. We feel very comfortable that this isn't an issue with inadvertent manipulation of fuel control,' Reuters quoted FAA administrator Bryan Bedford as saying. Meanwhile, Indian authorities, who are currently investigating the matter, requested patience for the final report. They urged both the public and experts to refrain from drawing conclusions and did not comment on Bedford's recent remarks. The matter is still under investigation As per the preliminary report released by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner's fuel supply to engines had been cut off, causing it to crash. While it is not concluded what caused the fuel switches' position to change, soon after the report was released, Western media started alluding to a pilot error. In the report, it was also mentioned that the cockpit voice recording revealed that one pilot asked the other why he had moved the switches, to which the latter replied he hadn't. In light of this, several Western news outlets started speculating about the mental health of the pilots and started to report more about their personal lives. Amid the chaos, Boeing is maintaining a cautious stance on the matter. Reacting to Bedford's statement, Boeing said: 'We'll defer to the FAA for any comments on this.' According to Reuters, the FAA chief made the remarks while he was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an air show in Wisconsin. In support of this assertion, Bedford cited an evaluation conducted by FAA employees who had 'taken the units out, tested them and had inspectors get on aircraft and review them'.

Not covered in FTA, carbon tax may spoil in India-UK free trade mood; here's why
Britain's proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is not included in the FTA with India because London has not yet formally notified the tax. read more The free trade agreement between India and the UK does not cover Britain's proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). However, officials stated on Friday (July 25) that if such a tax is introduced later, India will have the right to take measures to offset its impact on domestic exports, reported Economic Times. The CBAM is not included in the agreement because Britain has not yet formally notified the tax. In December 2023, the UK announced plans to implement the CBAM starting in 2027. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The issue was raised during negotiations for the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). 'If it is implemented and negates the trade benefits of India under the agreement, India will have the freedom to rebalance it. We can take counterbalancing measures. This much understanding has been made in the form of note verbale,' an official was quoted as saying by the ET.. A note verbale refers to a diplomatic communication exchanged between two countries. 'There is an understanding that in case the UK make it effective against India in future, then we will also have the right to take counterbalance measures… India can take away the concessions and there will be a mechanism for that,' the official further noted. India is also engaged in discussions with the European Union, which is planning its own CBAM. The two parties are negotiating a trade agreement, expected to be finalised this year. India has labelled the CBAM as a trade barrier. A carbon tax is considered a non-tariff barrier. The European Union has already implemented such a tax on imports exceeding a specific carbon emission threshold. For every tonne of excess carbon emission, a levy ranging from €1 to €100 per tonne is imposed. India and the United Kingdom (UK) signed the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on Thursday (July 24) during PM Narendra Modi's visit to the UK. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD New Delhi and London concluded talks in May to reach a bilateral Free Trade Agreement, discussions for which first began in January 2022. As per the British government estimates, the FTA will boost its GDP by £4.8 billion ($6.5 billion) annually. Indian exports to the UK are expected to double by 2030.
