Black Out in Rajasthan

Authorities have implemented a complete blackout in a large part of Rajasthan as a precautionary measure amid escalating tension between India and Pakistan.  The authorities in Rajasthan and Punjab have cancelled leaves of all police personnel and administration officials. The government has also ordered schools in he India-Pakistan border districts to be shut down till further notice. The government has taken the precautionary measure in four border districts, Sri Ganganagar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, and Barmer.

After India executed Operation Sindoor, in which nine terror sites deep inside Pakistan were destroyed, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets on the night of May 7. The military targets were engaged in Northern and Western India, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles.

On the night of Wednesday too, Pakistan tried to attack many cities in Rajasthan and sent its loitering drones. These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks.

Indian Air Force S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence missile systems were fired last night against targets moving towards India. The targets were successfully neutralised in the operation, multiple domain experts told ANI. An official Government confirmation is awaited.
