pathankot attack

India recently witnessed one of the deadly terror attacks on its military base in Pathankot on January 2 this year.

But according to Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC) on Home Affairs, terrorists are hiding in villages close to the “vulnerable” Pathankot airbase, which can come under fresh attack from them.

The government has been informed about it and security of the strategically important facility beefed up.

The committee was in Jammu to review the security arrangements along the international border and had earlier gone to Pathankot.

This came after a five-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) from Pakistan had visited India between March 27 and 31 to collect evidence with regard to the attack.

After the recommendation of the committee, the government has alerted the CRPF, BSF and the army and handed over the security of the airbase to them.

After this major development in the Pathankot case, the Interpol on Tuesday issued a fresh Red Corner notice against Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar and his brother Abdul Rauf for their alleged involvement in the attack on the Indian Air Force Base.

Indian Navy and US Navy have regularly conducted the annual bilateral exercise named ‘MALABAR’ since 1992. Since 2007, MALABAR has been held alternatively in India and in the Western Pacific. The 19th edition of the exercise, Ex MALABAR-15, was conducted off Chennai and included participation by the JMSDF.

The 20th edition of the exercise, Ex MALABAR-16, is being conducted from 14 to 17 June 16 with the harbour phase at Sasebo from 10 to 13 June 16.

The sea phase will be in the Pacific Ocean from 14 to 17 June 16.

The primary aim of this exercise is to increase interoperability amongst the three navies and develop a common understanding of procedures for Maritime Security Operations. The scope of MALABAR-16 includes professional interactions in the harbour and a diverse range of activities at sea, including complex surface, sub-surface and air operations.

The Indian Navy Ships participating in the exercise are from the Eastern Fleet and include INS Sahyadri and INS Satpura, indigenously built guided missile stealth frigates, INS Shakti, a modern fleet tanker and support ship and INS Kirch an indigenous guided missile corvette. The ships have embarked one Sea King 42B ASW helicopter and two Chetak utility helicopters.

The CTF will include the aircraft carrier USS John C Stennis (CVN 74), Ticonderoga-class Cruiser USS Mobile Bay and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Chung-Hoon, all with embarked helicopters.

Additionally, the Special Forces (SF) of the three navies will also interact during the exercise.

MALABAR–16 will be another significant step in strengthening mutual confidence and interoperability as well as sharing of best practices between the Indian, Japanese and US Navies. The exercise will support maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region, and benefit the global maritime community.

In recent times, the exercise assumes significance as it is being conducted close to the South China Sea when Chinese assertiveness in this region is a raging issue. The exercise also aims to achieve deeper military ties and greater interoperability amid rising tensions in the region.

Protecting From Dead – The Legend Of Sepoy Harbhajan Singh

0
Sepoy Harbhajan Singh

A soldier in Nathula border is still doing his duty even after his death some three decades back – or that’s what the soldiers posted at Nathula Pass believe.

Near the panoramic view of Nathula, the shrine of Baba Harbhajan Singh called Baba Mandir is situated. It is believed that Baba Harbhajan has been guarding the boundary of India and China about 60 km from Gangtok for three decades now.

And wait – according to the soldiers there, he does it alone. All alone!

Punjab Harbhajan Singh, born in Kapurthala, was a Sepoy in the 23rd Punjab Battalion. It all started when Sepoy Harbhajan Singh was escorting a mule column from his battalion headquarters. On his way to his destination, he fell into a stream of water and was carried two kilometers downstream. As the first casualty of the 23rd Punjab Regiment of the war, a manhunt was launched to find him.Sepoy Harbhajan Singh

No one could find the mortal remains of Sepoy Harbhajan Singh for the following days of his missing and the search was later called off due to bad weather. But one day, Harbhajan Singh appeared in the dream of one of his colleagues. In the dream, he informed his colleague that he was no longer alive and told him the exact spot where his body would be found. According to the fellow mate, Harbhajan desired to have a samadhi made after him.

The body of Sepoy Harbhajan Singh was found coincidentally at the same spot where Harbhajan Singh had informed his fellow soldier. Following this, they decided to construct a Samadhi in his memory.

Over the years, Baba Harbhajan’s shrine has obtained huge devote. Baba is believed to forecast accident in the valley even before it happens through the dreams of fellow soldiers.

Baba Mandir consists of a prayer room where his large portrait is situated; his personal room where belongings of Harbhajan Singh is maintained; and an office cum store room containing water bottles, unused slippers, toothbrushes and other items offered to Baba by devotees. The items offered in the Mandir are believed to turn holy that can cure every ailment.

A special ceremony is organized by the army soldiers at the Baba Mandir on every 4th of October, the day he died, to honour the role of Baba Harbhajan Singh apart from every Monday and Tuesday when regular pujas and meals are offered.

And – and …

The soldiers at Nathula border are on the high alert from September 15 to November 15 every year, the period when Baba goes on an annual leave. Any pending leaves for other soldiers are cancelled and Harbhajan’s personal belongings are sent to his home in Kapurthala every year through a train.

Such is the faith of soldiers in Baba that during flag meetings between India and China at Nathula, a chair is set aside to honour Harbhajan Singh. Sepoy Harbhajan Singh is today honoured with the rank of Honorary Captain in the Indian Army whose paychecks and pensions are received by his family every month till date.
