As part of the ongoing exercise Gagan Shakti-24, Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft operated from the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) in Kashmir valley. The ministry said that a large number of troops were airlifted and subsequently air landed utilising Chinook, Mi-17 V5 and ALH Mk-III helicopters by night. Emergency Landing Facility operations provide an opportunity for IAF aircraft to undertake operations from such restricted landing surfaces while also being able to undertake humanitarian assistance in disaster relief operations during times of natural calamities. The capability to operate by night on these stretches of highways will enhance operational capabilities of armed forces.

Nagpur Airport: Mihan Dream grounded, vantage point lost

Nagpur's unique and strategic central location was once lauded for placing it on the nation's aviation map. It was hailed for its efforts in creating a harmonized air traffic management system with continuous airspace over the city, alongside establishing a centralized cargo hub. However, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport is currently mired in apathy and has seemingly vanished from the national radar across various parameters, barely meeting the standards expected of a tier-2 city airport.
