SINAMANGAL (KATHMANDU): A baby girl born at the 60 Para Field Hospital of the Indian Army in quake-hit Sinamangal in Nepal, has been named "Bharati".

The entire field hospital celebrated the moment as they and members of the Kathmandu Medical College (KMC) named the girl Bharati Pudasaini.

"Since the hospital was already occupied with earthquake victims and also because the building was not safe, the members of KMC wanted the delivery to be done here. It is our pleasure to have assisted in all possible ways. We are extremely happy for the parents," said Lt. Colonel R.K. Yadav of the Indian Army.

Bhawana Pudasaini, a resident of Duwakote, Bhaktapur, gave birth to Bharati at 12:01 p.m. in the field hospital with the assistance of gynaecologists Dr Anu Bajracharya and Dr Rojina Manandhar.

'One rank, one pension' cleared: Parrikar

PANAJI: The much-awaited "one rank, one pension" (OROP) for the armed forces is likely to be cleared in a few days, defence minister Manohar Parrikar said in Goa on Saturday.

"OROP proposal is in final stage. The defence ministry has approved it and the finance ministry will clear it in a few days," he added.

He said it is the first time that a clear proposal has been sent to finance ministry on OROP.

An estimated Rs 8,000 crore is likely to be allocated by the government to fulfill its commitment to the over 25 lakh ex-servicemen, who have been demanding OROP for several years.
 

Lieutenant general P R Kumar said the Army Aviation Corps, a combat arm of the Indian Army, was expanding at a rapid pace and was poised to modernise and upgrade in total synchronisation with the requirements of the future battle field. He also said that the Army Aviation Corps would be a game changer in the future battle fields and hoped to see the induction of the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) and Apache helicopters soon.

Captured bird
When pigeon from Pakistan got arrested in India

Reports say only part of the message was in Urdu, with words “Shakargarh” and "Narowal"' written in English, along with some numbers believed to be of a landline telephone in Pakistan's Narowal district.

On Wednesday evening, a white pigeon, bearing a stamped message with a wire-like object on its body, landed at the house of barber Ramesh Chandra in Manwal village of Punjab's Pathankot area, four kilometres from Pakistan border. Discovering Urdu markings on the bird, Chandra's 14-year-old son went to the nearest police post around 9 pm with the bird.
