Bengaluru: The government should not under any circumstances consider the incident of fake bomb threats to school lightly asserted former Chief Minister and JD(S) Karnataka President H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday.

Kumaraswamy further urged the government to provide safety and security arrangements assuring confidence in the parents to send their children to schools.

Sharing an ‘X’ post regarding the incident, he wrote, “It is alarming to hear that anonymous individuals have sent bomb threats to schools. The miscreants would have carried such an act with the malicious intent of creating fear and endangering peace and order of the parents and children.”

The JD(S) leader further called on the Congress government to not take the incident lightly for any reason, and to ensure that parents and kids have confidence in going to schools. “Do a detailed investigation into the matter and find out the one behind the incident. Find out what is the source and immobilize it. The state government should not hesitate to get help from the central government concerning this incident.”

Hyderabad (PTI): Asserting that war and warfare is at the cusp of a major revolution, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Saturday said the Indian Defence forces are committed to adapting to changing environment and imbibing reforms to remain ready and relevant.

Addressing the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP) of 216 Course held at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal near here, General Chauhan said India's strength rests on robust institutions, democratic stability, and unwavering professionalism of our Armed Forces.

He said the intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindoor continues.

"You (new officers) also join the Air Force at a moment when a new normal has firmly taken shape. An era defined by a high degree of operational preparedness, 24-7, 365 days. The intensity of operations may have ebbed, but Operation Sindhur continues," he said.

He further said the newly trained officers are entering the Indian Air Force during a phase of deep transformation of the Indian Armed Forces.

Integrated structures, joint operations, and national pursuit of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence are shaping the future of India's military strength, he said.

"Your journey ahead will be accordingly guided by Jai, the first word of Jai Hind, that's victory. 'J' stands for jointness, fighting as one nation, one force. 'A' stands for Atmanirbhar Bharat, trusted platforms and systems made not just for India but for the world. And finally, 'I' for innovation, daring to think ahead and to be ahead of the curve," he explained.

General Chauhan further said battles in the older domains will always remain contested, often brutal. But in the new domains, they will be smart, swift, and shaped by intellect, innovation, and initiative. The force that masters new frontiers is more likely to prevail in future conflicts.
