Over 3,000 youth enrol as Civil Defence volunteers in Chandigarh
Massive turnout at Tagore Theatre and Tiranga Urban Park reflected a surge of national pride
Over 3,000 young citizens of Chandigarh enrolled as Civil Defence volunteers during a large-scale mobilisation drive held at Tagore Theatre in Sector 18 and Tiranga Urban Park in Sector 17 on Saturday.
The event witnessed not only an overwhelming response but also a surge of national pride and youthful determination.
Punjab Governor and Administrator of UT Chandigarh Gulab Chand Kataria addressed the youth at Tagore Theatre. His words, full of emotion and moral clarity, struck a deep chord with every listener.
Recalling India’s long tradition of unsung heroes who served without rank or recognition, Governor Kataria spoke with reverence of the invisible warriors of the past – those who during the wars of 1962, 1965, and 1971 turned schools into bunkers, carried the wounded to safety, and worked day and night with no expectation of reward.
“They had no medals,” he said, “but they had the heart of India beating inside them.”
At Tiranga Urban Park, under the waving tricolour, hundreds took the pledge to serve not just in times of war, but in every crisis – be it disaster, emergency, or the need for calm in chaos. For many, it was a turning point – a moment when being a citizen took on a deeper meaning.
The event also witnesses the participation of key officials including Home Secretary Mandip Singh Brar, Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav, and UT Senior Superintendent of Police Kanwardeep Kaur.

“Deh shiva bar mohe eh hai, Subh karman te kabh na taron. Na daro aar so jab jaye laro, Nischay kar apni jeet karon” (O Akaal Purakh, give me this boon, may I never ever shirk from doing good deeds. That I shall not fear when I go into combat. And with determination, I will be victorious), is how Lt Col H.S. Kahlon (retd), who was decorated with Vir Chakra for his courage and valour in the 1971 war, starts the conversation with The Tribune today.
It took a little effort to persuade Col Kahlon to speak about the current situation as he was disheartened. “War is no solution and should be fought only if the welfare of the people is involved, like in the case of 1971 war. One should never step back from laying down his/her life for the sake of the country. Nation comes first and everything else after and this is what the Army and my religion has taught me,” he says.
Commenting on the current escalating situation between India and Pakistan, Kahlon said that after the Pahalgam attack, the strike by India was justified, but it should be stopped now as none of the countries can afford war at present. War should be fought only if people of the country are in danger and not to settle political scores, he says. “The Indian armed forces are very powerful and can deal with any situation,” he says.
He recalled that he was also posted at the J&K border during his service. “We often use to gun down terrorists trying to infiltrate, but that was only on the border. Such situations should be handled at the border and not involve the entire nation into it. Years have passed, but the sad reality is that the situation still remain the same, especially in PoK,” he said.
Ex gratia for martyrs’ families doubled to Rs 1 cr, disability coverage expanded

Amid heightened tensions with Pakistan, the Haryana Government has significantly enhanced the ex gratia compensation for families of armed forces and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel who die in the line of duty or suffer permanent disability while serving in operational areas or during war, terrorist or militant attacks, border skirmishes, or United Nations Peacekeeping Missions.
As per a notification issued by the Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare Department, the next of kin of a battle casualty will now receive Rs 1 crore as an ex gratia — double the earlier amount of Rs 50 lakh
This revision is effective from February 23, 2024Advertisement
Soldiers suffering from a disability of 70% or above will be granted Rs 35 lakh. Those with disabilities between 50% and 69% will receive Rs 25 lakh, and personnel with disabilities ranging from 20% to 49% will be entitled to Rs 15 lakhNew guidelines
As per a notification issued by the Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare Department, the next of kin (NoK) of a battle casualty will now receive Rs 1 crore as an ex gratia — double the earlier amount of Rs 50 lakh. This revision is effective from February 23, 2024. The last revision to the amount was made in 2016.
The state has also revised the slabs for disability related ex gratia, now covering a wider range of permanently disabled personnel. Soldiers suffering from a disability of 70% or above will be granted Rs 35 lakh. Those with disabilities between 50% and 69% will receive Rs 25 lakh, and personnel with disabilities ranging from 20% to 49% will be entitled to Rs 15 lakh.
The notification specifies that the “disability element should be of a permanent percentage fixed by the initial Medical Board.” Review Medical Board reports will not alter the ex gratia payment amount, even if the disability percentage is later changed.
Previously, only those with 75% and above disability were eligible for Rs 35 lakh, while the 50-74% and 25-49% categories received Rs 25 lakh and Rs 15 lakh respectively. The last revision in disability benefits was made in 2017.
Only soldiers who had Haryana domicile at the time of joining the forces are eligible under this scheme.
The notification also outlines how the ex gratia amount will be divided among the martyr’s family. The spouse will receive 35%, regardless of remarriage. Children will get 35%, and parents 30%, irrespective of dependency. In case of an unmarried martyr, parents will receive 100% —split equally between mother and father. If the deceased had no children, the widow and parents will share the amount equally.
The Administrative Secretary of the Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare Department is the competent authority to sanction the grant, with powers delegated to the respective Deputy Commissioner-cum-president of the District Sainik Welfare Office.
Attempts to reach ACS Vijayendra Kumar for comment were unsuccessful.
Bapora villagers filled with pride seeing ‘bahu’ Wing Commander Vyomika Singh at centre stage for Operation Sindoor briefing

With the entire nation celebrating the success of the Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor, the people of Bapora village in Bhiwani district have even more reason to rejoice. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, a helicopter pilot in the Indian Air Force who has drawn attention at the national and international level by being part of the Indian Force’s media handling team, is the ‘bahu’ of Bapora in Haryana’s Bhiwani district.
She and Colonel Sophia Qureshi were part of the Indian Force’s team which regularly briefs media on Operation Sindoor. Singh is married to Dinesh Sabharwal, a native of Bapora village in Bhiwani district, which also happens to be the ancestral village of former Army Chief General VK Singh (retired) — who is serving as Governor of Mizoram now.
Dinesh Sabharwal is also the Group Captain in the IAF. His father Prem Singh Sabharwal had also retired as the District Excise and Taxation Controller.
“Vyomika is a bahu (daughter-in-law) of the village, and her success brings honour not only to her family but to the entire village. Her father-in-law’s family still resides in the village, while Vyomika lives with her husband in Gurugram,” informed the villagers.
A villager said that the entire village was elated after hearing about the success of Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Air Force crossed into enemy territory to eliminate nine terrorist camps in Pakistan. “The operation symbolised a moment of national pride. The success of Operation Sindoor provided a sense of justice for the nation,” he said.
86-year-old Ramdei, who is grandmother-in-law of Vyomika Singh, expressed pride, saying, “May every household be blessed with such a brave daughter-in-law. She has proven that our girls are no less courageous than boys.”
Bapora village has a strong tradition of military service — nearly ten family members of Vyomika, including her husband Dinesh Sabharwal have served in the armed forces.
Explainer: What are Turkish Songar drones, 400 of which Pakistan used to target 36 places in India
The possible purpose of such large scale intrusions was to test air defence systems and collect intelligence
During the intervening night of May 8 and 9, Pakistan carried out strikes by drones on India at 36 locations along the western borders from Leh in the north to Sir Creek in Gujarat, using 300-400 unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

Its features include route-planning and navigation based on GPS and autonomous return-to-base operation in an emergency.
The company’s website states that Songar Armed Drone System is the first armed drone in the Turkish Armed Forces’ and is meant to be used in any kind of day and night military and security operations.
Songar has an operational range of about 10 kms and a maximum take-off weight of 45 kg. According to reports, the system is low-cost and can be modified according to requirements at hand, is easy to use, It is also light weight and easy to carry by troops.
Besides carrying daytime and infrared cameras, it can be equipped with different types of weapons that can be triggered remotely. These include machine guns, grenade launchers and mini missiles that can be used to target personnel, bunkers, light vehicles and buildings up to a range of two kms.
Barrel rotation up to 45 degrees, close air support capability for critical military installations, ability to perform 35 minutes of duty without payload, rapid response to known threats, multi-layered firing safety measures and gimbaled automatic firing system are among its other listed features.
Songar has been integrated into both ground vehicles and standalone UAV operations. It has also been mounted on a 4×4 armored vehicle to support close-range combat and surveillance missions.
Pakistan and Turkey have close bilateral relations encompassing cultural, economic, diplomatic and military domains and are both members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Turkey is a major supplier of military equipment to Pakistan and has been supporting it in the international arena.
