administration has issued
a notice to a trader for

the farmer selling soybean in
Makdoun’s Krishi Upaj
Mandi Samiti. Mukesh Yadav,
a farmer of Limbadit, had
sold soybean to a trader at

trader handed over a raw
bill. On the complaint of the
farmer, Mandi secretary
Roshan Arya issued a notice
to the trader. A reply has
been sought from him as to
why he did not give a
confirmed bill.

In a first, an Indian Air Force

woman fighter pilot would be
part of the Indian contingent for
the aerial wargames to be held
with outside the country.
Women officers have been par-
ticipating in wargames with for-
eign contingents coming to In-
dia including the French Air
Force where two lady fighter pi-
lots took part. However, this
would be the first time that a
lady pilot would represent the country on foreign land.
Squadron Leader Avni Chaturvedi, who is one of the first
three lady fighter pilots of India, will leave for Japan
shortly for participating in the exercise.
The exercise Veer Guardian 2023 will be carried out from
January 16 to January 26 at the Hyakuri Air Base and its
surrounding airspace in Omitama, and the Iruma Air
Base in Sayama in Japan. Squadron Leader Chaturvedi is
a Sukhoi-30 fighter pilot based in Jodhpur. The 29-year-old
first flew the MiG-21 Bison in IAF Squadron service after
she completed her training on Hawk Advanced Jet Train-
ers. She was declared the first woman combat pilot in IAF
along with Mohana Singh Jitarwal, and Bhawana Kanth.
Ms Chaturvedi was born in Madhya Pradesh. Before join-
ing the IAF, she underwent six months of intensive train-
ing at the Air Force Academy in Telangana’s Dundigal.
Asked to compare the Indian Su-30MKI with the Su-30s
operated by other countries including the ones operated by
its original manufacturer Russia, Group Captain Arpit
Kala said: “What makes the Indian Su-30MKI different
from the flankers (Su-30 combat aircraft) operated across
the world is that it is a beautiful integration of various
weapons, sensors and avionics from all over the world. Its
long-range vectors (missiles) including the indigenous air-
to-air and air-to-ground weapons give it an edge over oth-
ers. It is one of the best aircraft in the world.”

A lion and a lioness fell into

an open well in the Gir for-
est division in Gujarat's
Amreli district and
drowned, a forest official
said on Saturday.
The big cats, aged five to
nine years, were roaming
in the area when they fell
into the well belonging to a
farmer in Kotda village in
Khambha taluka on Friday
morning, said Rajdeepsinh
Zala, deputy conservator of
forests (DCF), Gir (East).
"The farmer informed us
as soon as he came to know
about the incident. Howev-
er, by the time the rescue
team from the forest de-
partment reached the spot,
the animals had drowned.
Their carcasses were fished
out and sent for post-
mortem," Zala said.
Since 2007-08, at least
11,748 wells in the Gir East
division covering Amreli
and Gir Somnath districts
have been secured with
parapets to prevent big cats
from falling into them, the
official said.
