In a resounding affirmation of India’s aerial dominance, the Indian Air Force (IAF) unveiled plans for Exercise Vayushakti 2026, a massive firepower demonstration set to unfold over the arid sands of Pokhran Air to Ground Range in Jaisalmer on February 27. The curtain-raiser event, held in the capital, featured a detailed briefing followed by a press conference led by Vice Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Nagesh Kapoor, who emphasised the IAF’s unwavering commitment to national security and self-reliance under the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ vision. 

This biennial spectacle, the largest since Operation Sindoor, will involve over 120 aircraft, including 77 frontline fighters like the Rafale, Tejas, Sukhoi-30MKI, MiG-29, Jaguar, and Mirage-2000, alongside 43 helicopters such as the indigenous Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand, Apache attack choppers, and heavy-lift Chinooks. Transport assets including C-130J, C-295, and C-17, plus remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs), will join the fray, showcasing full-spectrum operations across day, dusk, and night scenarios. Advanced weaponry, from Short Range Loitering Munitions (SRLM) to air defense systems like Akash, SpyDer, and Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS), will be deployed, with more than 277 munitions and over 11,000 kg of explosives expected to light up the desert sky. 

A highlight will be the recreation of Operation Sindoor’s precision strikes, underscoring the IAF’s zero-tolerance stance against terrorism and its prowess in long-range targeting and multi-domain warfare. “The Rafale was a hero in Operation Sindoor, and we’re looking forward to inducting more next-generation fighters,” Air Marshal Kapoor stated, hinting at potential expansions in the multi-role fighter aircraft fleet. The exercise also spotlights humanitarian roles, with demonstrations of rapid airlifts and disaster relief evacuations, reinforcing the IAF’s dual mandate as a warfighter and lifesaver. 

Guided by the motto “Achook, Abhedya aur Sateek” (Unerring, Impenetrable, and Precise), Vayushakti 2026 aims to reassure the nation of the IAF’s combat readiness amid evolving geopolitical challenges. As tensions simmer along borders, this display near the India-Pakistan frontier sends a clear message: India’s skies are guarded by unmatched skill and indigenous innovation. “LARGE” With echoes of past triumphs like the Balakot strikes, the event promises to be a thunderous testament to aerial supremacy, drawing global attention to India’s growing defence capabilities.

Banks transfer policy

Being scale 1 officer, I got transferred to Bhubaneswar region from Kolkata on June 2024 but till now we have not been transferred to our parent zone inspite of applying on spouse ground. It is very difficult to stay away from our children, spouse and parents who require us the most. Kindly arrange to send us back to our parent zone so that we can give our 100% best service to our organisation as well as take our personal life responsibilities. 

Deepanwita

Banks transfer policy

It is not possible for us being a women , and in the country like India, to ask our husbands to leave their business or jobs and shift with us to a new place. Our children life gets horrified just because of this transfer. We sacrifice our future and don’t take promotion just because of transfers, still we are transferred. We look after our in lawaa and to play a major part at home with families. Its getting impossible for us to surrive and be self dependent just because of transfers 

Swati

Banks transfer policy

Lateral transfer/Transfer far from place of residence must be stopped at least for those who are sacrificing their career or promotion due to their family. Female staff should be posted near to their home. Upto Scale III officers are providing customer service sitting front, so transfer to another linguistic region upto Scale III should be stopped. 

Ajanta Ghosh

Banks transfer policy

I am also working in a psb , my first posting was 360km away from my native after 6 years of struggle I got home place transfer. Now only 2.5 years completed in my native, in april again they will transfer me to other circle  ie., minimum 500 km away from my native place. My son is only 2 years old no one is there for taking care of my son. Nowadays it is very very dangerous to trust care takers, so government will take proper decision on transfer policy to lady officers in psbs. 

SOBIYA SREEKRISHNAN

Banks transfer policy

Transfer policy in UCO Bank is very unfair, every year they are bringing transfer policy, but human interference in the policy is very much. Those who actually deserves the transfer to their home state/zone are not getting transferred. Transfer policy/process should be automatic and should not be driven by the excessive human interference. In UCO bank employees who have completed two years of maximum service in North East India are not getting transferred to their home zone despite their repeated effort to apply for such transfer. 

Manju

Banks transfer policy

Current scenario, transfer and posting should not be thought as per century old policies and thought. In today's transparent world, working in own area may attract more bussiness and profits compared to in other area

Banks transfer policy

The transfer policy of Union Bank of India is the worst, being a single child and when my parents are both under chronic treatment, my bank thrown me out from Kolkata to Mumbai,Now my life became hale,When there were ample vacancies in the state like Odisha...

Latha T S

Banks transfer policy

Government should make changes in transfer policy, when a staff from Karnataka transferred to Kerala how can you expect that he should speak Malyalam. It is easy task, transfers should be done within a state, His family will also suffer 

Gajanan Shenvi

Marks scored in examination when result is withheld

The appellant sought information about the marks scored by him in the examination conducted for the Sub-inspector in Delhi Police, CAPFs and Assistant Sub-inspector in CISF Examination. The information was denied and on query by the CIC, the respondent submitted that it was not declared by the Appellant in his RTI Application that his result was withheld, which is why such a reply was provided to him. The appellant argued that since information related to one of the candidates has been provided, he is also entitled to access the information related to him now since the OA stands disposed of. The appellant submitted that the averred OA infructuous and the interim order that the PIO is relying upon to withhold the information of the candidates in a sealed cover was no longer stipulated to be in operation whilst passing the final order. The averred final order stipulates that all pending MA(s) are also disposed of with another connected OA being described as infructuous and this order significantly predates the date of filing of the RTI Application. Additionally, the PIO has not complied with the averred FAA’s order which was leaning in favor of the Appellant. The CIC directed the PIO to submit a written explanation to show cause as to why action should not be initiated in the matter under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act for failing to provide a proper reply to the RTI Application at the original instance as the queries of different nature i.e distinct from the mere marks and result of the Appellant were left unattended by providing an unwarranted cumulative reply. Further, the PIO was also directed to explain the prima-facie non-compliance of the FAA’s order within 15 days. The PIO was directed to provide a revised reply to the RTI Application incorporating the available information regarding the Appellant’s result and OMR sheet as sought for. 

Comments

In many instances, it has been pointed out that the marks scored by an individual should be provided to him/her unless any of the exemption sections of the RTI Act, 2005 can be invoked to deny the information.
