Iranian armed forces launched large-scale air defence maneuver

[ad_1]

Tehran: Iran’s armed forces on Tuesday started a large-scale real-combat air defence maneuver in the country to show their preparedness of defending the country’s sensitive targets, Iranian media reported.

Forces of the Iranian Army and Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) took part in the drill codenamed Modafean Aseman-e Velayat 1401, which is held in two-thirds of the Iranian airspace, official news agency IRNA reported, citing the manoeuvre’s spokesman Abbas Farajpour.

It would test air defence systems’ mobility and the operational forces’ pace of reaction in a passive defence scenario, among others, said Farajpour as quoted by Xinhua news agency report.

Manned and unmanned aerial reconnaissance of the army’s aviation branch and IRGC air forces, as well as detection, tracking, and combat systems of air defence divisions, are being tested, he added.

Fully homegrown air defence systems equipped with advanced active and passive radars would surveil the drill area to track and confront any hostile target once detecting it, Farajpour said.

The war game put the country’s air defence systems to the test by involving more than 100 manned and unmanned aircraft for launching a mock attack on the country’s sensitive nuclear and military centres, semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing Amir-Qader Rahimzadeh, Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Air Defence Base.

He stressed that the armed forces use mostly home-grown air defence weapons in the drill, including those hidden in underground tunnels for security reasons.

Basij voluntary force and the police will also take part in the joint exercise, the Commander added.

Bhiwani killings: Appeal launched to support kin of Junaid, Nasir

[ad_1]

A few days ago, two men named Nasir, aged 25 years, and Junaid alias Juna, aged 35 years were abducted and charred to death. Their charred bodies were found inside a burnt vehicle in Haryana’s Bhiwani district on February 16.

It has been alleged that the youths were burnt alive on suspicion of being involved in cow smuggling.

According to the relatives of the deceased, the two were first badly beaten by 8 to 10 men and then kidnapped by their assaulters. The kin also said that the youths were later burnt to death.

Appeal launched for kin of Junaid, Nasir

Junaid who was the sole bread-earner of the family is survived by his wife Sajda, and six children. As his brother is not mentally stable, Junaid used to take care of his brother’s family too.

On the hand, Nasir’s family also needs financial assistance to start their life again. The families of both victims are poor.

Now as these families are left with no one to take care of, editor of Siasat Urdu Daily Zahid Ali Khan, former Rajya Sabha MP Brinda Karat, Secretary of Faiz-e-Aam Trust Iftekhar Hussain, and Maqdoom Mohiuddin of Bibi Amena Multi Speciality Hospital have appealed to philanthropists to help the kin of the victims as much as possible.

The amount can be transferred to the bank accounts of the victims’ kin. The details of the bank account of Junaid’s wife are as follows:

Account holder name: MS Sajida
Account No. :2676001700092464
MICR Code: 321024525
IFSC Code: PUNB0267600.
Bank name: Punjab National Bank

Nasir’s family account details are as follows:

Account number- 2676001700018657
IFSC code: PUNB0267600
Bank name: Punjab National Bank

Details Bhiwani killings

The youths Nasir and Junaid were kidnapped, lynched, and murdered allegedly by members of the Bajrang Dal, including Monu Manesar, on suspicion of their involvement in cow smuggling.

Their bodies were found inside a burnt vehicle in Bhiwani district, Haryana.

So far in the case, Rajasthan police arrested one accused Rinku Saini out of nine persons reportedly involved in the killing. The police released the pictures of the eight accused.

Recently, Brinda Karat and other visited the victims’ house and met with family members.

Kerala farmer goes missing during govt-sponsored trip to Israel; probe launched

[ad_1]

Jerusalem: Authorities in Israel have registered a police case against a 48-year-old Kerala farmer, who reportedly went missing in Israel earlier this month while visiting the country on a state government-sponsored trip to study Israeli modern agricultural techniques.

Biju Kurian, a native of Ulikkal panchayat in Kannur district, was part of a 28-member Kerala government’s delegation of farmers, sent to Israel to study state-of-the-art techniques such as hydroponics and precision farming.

On February 17, Kurian reportedly went missing.

Despite Israel’s law enforcement agencies’ best efforts to trace him, Kurian’s whereabouts were not known.

“We have registered a police case against him. He will be deported once we nab him,” an official said.

The delegation, led by Principal Secretary B. Ashok, left for Israel on February 11. The farmers’ delegation left Israel on Sunday without Kurian, they added.

Kurian’s family in Kannur are also clueless about his mysterious disappearance and were making desperate attempts to reach out to him.
