If Pakistan attacks again, India can now defend with..., India's S-400 air defence system is now...
S-400 Called Sudarshan Chakra S-400 air defence system upgrade: After the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed twenty-two people in India and was linked to Pakistan, India responded with Operation Sindoor, killing more than a hundred terrorists across nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. India also destroyed several of Pakistan's airbases including the famous Nur Khan airbase during the recent tensions between the two countries, highlighting the inefficiency of the Pakistani Chinese-supplied HQ-9 air defence systems. However, Pakistan tried to attack India again but failed to do any harm due to India's S-400 air defense system. In the recent update, India is now reportedly upgrading the famous Russian supplied S-400 air defense system. India plans to upgrade S-400 air defence system As told earlier, India's S-400 air defense system protected India against the missile attack by Pakistan in which it reportedly used Chinese CM-400AKG missile but in order to upgrade it, the Indian Air Force is now planning to deploy indigenous quick-reaction systems like VL-SRSAM and QRSAM, developed by DRDO, to enhance close-range protection. These systems, with ranges of up to 80 km and 30 km respectively, feature advanced radar and integration capabilities India to get remaining S-400 missile systems by 2026 In a significant development for India, Russia has announced that it is committed to delivering the remaining units of the S-400 air defence system to India by 2025-2026. The country's Deputy Chief of Mission in India, Roman Babushkin, recently said that the system performed 'very efficiently' during the recent India-Pakistan tensions. Babushkin also hinted at expanding bilateral cooperation with India in air defence and anti-drone systems, as per a report by PTI. Babushkin confirmed that the contract for the remaining two S-400 units is on track, with deliveries expected to be completed by 2025-26, in line with publicly announced timelines. India signed a USD 5.43 billion deal with Russia in 2018 for five squadrons of the S-400 Triumf missile system, a state-of-the-art air defence platform capable of engaging multiple aerial threats at long ranges. Three squadrons have already been delivered. On the potential expansion of defence collaboration, Babushkin expressed openness to further dialogue. (With inputs from agencies)

Cabinet nod to 4 Badri projects; tax rebate for CNG, EV vehicles
The Uttarakhand cabinet on Wednesday approved 12 proposals, including four related to development projects in Badrinath and a tax exemption for CNG and electric vehicles. Secretary Shailesh Bagauli said permission was granted for creating Sudarshan Chakra and Sheshnetra Lotus wall artworks at prominent Badrinath locations, including Arrival Plaza and Lakefront. Another decision pertains to the construction and installation of the 'Tree and River Sculpture' at Badrinarayan Chowk. In a major green push, the cabinet has amended the tax structure for certain categories of eco-friendly vehicles. Under a notification dated Jan 2, 2019, issued under the Uttarakhand Motor Vehicle Taxation Reform Act, 2003, one-time tax rates were specified for vehicles powered by electric batteries, solar energy, or CNG. The cabinet has decided to extend this exemption to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and strong hybrid electric vehicles. "The purpose of this decision is to encourage vehicle owners to purchase and use these categories of vehicles and to reduce pollution," said Bagauli. To streamline recruitment processes for Group-C positions outside the purview of the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission, the state had earlier established the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission, creating a framework of 64 temporary positions-of which 62 were created, with the remaining two treated as a dying cadre. Given the rising number of requisitions from departments, the cabinet has now approved a restructuring of the commission's framework by creating 15 new positions-one regular and 14 outsourced-on top of the existing 62. In another decision, the director of the Forensic Science Laboratory will now be designated as the Uttarakhand Forensic Science Laboratory Department head. The cabinet also cleared a proposal to restructure the Uttarakhand Human Rights Commission , which was established in 2011 with 47 positions. To address operational requirements, 12 new positions will be created. In line with central govt directives, the cabinet approved a proposal to make employees covered under the National Pension Scheme (NPS) eligible for gratuity within the state. Also, changes were made to benefit the dependents of deceased environmental workers under the 1974 rules. Under the Clean Mobility Transition Policy, 2024, the transport department had planned to deposit funds for various incentives in an escrow account titled the Uttarakhand Clean Mobility Transition Fund. However, banks raised concerns regarding the opening of such accounts. Hence, the state will now use an SNA account to implement the policy.

"The purpose of this decision is to encourage vehicle owners to purchase and use these categories of vehicles and to reduce pollution," said Bagauli. The tax exemption will be applicable only once during the financial year 2025–26.

With the lab now directly under the control of the Home department, the director of the Forensic Science Laboratory will now be officially recorded as the department head in govt records. The cabinet also cleared a proposal to restructure the Uttarakhand Human Rights Commission, which was established in 2011 with 47 positions.

In line with central govt directives, the cabinet approved a proposal to make employees covered under the National Pension Scheme (NPS) eligible for gratuity within the state. To ensure transparency and uniformity in recruitment processes for uniformed positions, the cabinet has approved the promulgation of the Uttarakhand Uniformed Constable Direct Recruitment Selection Process Rules, 2025, and the Uttarakhand Uniformed Sub-Inspector Direct Recruitment Selection Process Rules, 2025. These rules were formulated in consultation with relevant departments and selection bodies to ensure a standardised selection process for constables and sub-inspectors. Also, changes were made to benefit the dependents of deceased environmental workers under the 1974 rules. Under the Clean Mobility Transition Policy, 2024, the transport department had planned to deposit funds for various incentives in an escrow account titled the Uttarakhand Clean Mobility Transition Fund. However, banks raised concerns regarding the opening of such accounts. As per a finance department order dated July 5, 2023, budgetary grants must be deposited in Single Nodal Agency (SNA) accounts integrated with IFMS. In view of this, the cabinet has decided to open an SNA account instead of an escrow account for the same fund.
