The ministries of health and environment called for increased public awareness throughout the country, especially in rural areas, about the risks of Malaria.
After the recent skirmish along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the Indian Army and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China, the former may have approved the procurement of over 100 ‘Pralay’ ballistic missiles. The indigenously developed surface-to-surface missiles will likely be deployed near India’s borders with China and Pakistan.
The Indian defence ministry has cleared the procurement of around 120 Pralay ballistic missiles for the Indian armed forces, the news agency ANI reported on Sunday (December 25).
The ballistic missiles will be deployed by the Indian armed forces along the borders with China and Pakistan. Pralay ballistic missiles are surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) developed for battlefield use.
Currently, the Pralay ballistic missiles can take out targets from 150 to 500 kms. It is extremely difficult for the enemy to intercept through interceptor missiles.
