IAF hits enemy supply base-A stunning blow to militants. By Our Special Correspondent NEW DELHI, JUNE 17. In a stunning blow which could be a turning point in ''Operation Vijay,'' Mirage-2000 planes of the Indian Air Force have pulverised a key enemy supply base in the Batalik sector. The strikes have come on the eve of the meeting of the eight industrial countries. India hopes that at this meeting the G-8 would impress upon Pakistan to withdraw its armed intruders from the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC). In two days of saturation bombing spearheaded by the Mirage- 2000, the 14,600 foot high Munthodhalo supply camp has been flattened. An estimated 150 Pakistani intruders and regulars have been killed. The camp was the logistics hub of the entire Batalik sector. Over 80 structures housing war material had been erected here. The bulk of the construction had taken place in the last fortnight as only 20-25 structures in this area existed around the end of May. In order to avoid detection, the makeshift buildings had been located on the extreme end of the rugged slopes. Numerous tracks connected them with the low lying area around.

Glimpses of Dasara '98 !!! DASARA : Origin and Background According to ritual digests and traditional mythologies of the early puranas there are two festivals that are called "navaratri". The first one comes during the spring equinox, in the bright half of the lunar month of Chaitra (March-April) and lasts from the first to the ninth day. This is generally a planting festival and in many parts of India marks the beginning of the lunar year. The second navaratri comes at the inauspicious period of dakshinayana, coincides with the autumn equinox, and the commemorates the killing of an evil mythical being called Mahishasura or buffalo demon by the fiery warrior goddess Durga, the "inaccessible". This autumnal navaratri starts from the first day of the bright half of the lunar month of Ashwina or Ashvayuja (October-November) and ends on the ninth day. In many regions, a tenth day called Vijaya-Dashami is added making it a ten-day festival generally known as Dasara, from Sanskrit words dasha or ten and ahara or days. dasara.com
