Yadgiri: Sangh Parivar activist Chaitra Kundapur was on Monday stopped by police and sent back while she was enroute to Kalaburagi district through Yadgiri.

She was on her way to Kalaburagi to participate in the Aland Chalo program organized by Sangh Parivar to go to Ladla Mashak Darga in Aland for the purification of Shivalinga at the Dargah site on the occasion of Shivratri.

She was stopped after the District Administration had barred her entry into the district from February 27 – March 3 in the wake of the event. The DC had issued the orders after the SP submitted a report in this regard seeking a ban on entry of Chaitra and Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik in the district as it could disturb peace and harmony.

She was stopped by a team of Dy.SP Umesh Chikkamath, PI Santosh Hallor, PSI Mahantesh Patil while she was trying to go to Aland through Yadgiri on Monday evening. She was later sent back by the police party.

New Delhi: Air Vice Chief Marshal, Hilal Ahmad, a Kashmiri Muslim from Anantnag according to a Mathrubhumi report has played a very important role in the Operation Sindhoor conducted by Indian Armed Forces launching precision military strikes against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on Wednesday.

Air Commodore Hilal Ahmad was India’s Air Attaché to France. Ahmad became India's first pilot to see off the batch of Rafale jets from France to India on July 27, 2020. Reports also suggest that he played a crucial part in early delivery of the Rafales, and has closely supervised the delivery schedule, weaponization, and customization of the Rafale jets to align with Indian operational needs.

A veteran officer with over 3,000 hours of accident-free flying, Ahmad has flown frontline combat aircraft like the Mirage 2000 and MiG-21. He gained widespread recognition as India’s first pilot to fly the Rafale jet and was instrumental in the aircraft's early induction into the Indian Air Force.

Although Ahmed is best known for his role in the Rafale program, his impact goes far beyond aircraft development. Through his leadership, he has played a crucial role in modernizing the Indian Air Force, enhancing its readiness to meet present-day challenges.

Mathrubhumi also reported that even though his name hasn’t been directly tied to the on-ground execution of Operation Sindoor, defense analysts suggest that officers of Ahmad’s calibre, with in-depth knowledge of aerial warfare and strategic defense systems, are integral to operations of such scale and precision.
