PM to attend grand finale of IAF Aerial Display today
VARANASI, Oct. 25 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit his parliamentary constituency, Varanasi, on Sunday, October 25, to headline a series of major events, including the finale of the "Wings over Ganges" Air Force Day Aerial Display.
"The countdown begins. Wings over Ganges in Varanasi tomorrow," the PM shared on Facebook on Saturday ahead of his Sunday visit to Varanasi.
The Prime Minister will be the chief guest at the concluding ceremony of the 94th anniversary celebrations of the Indian Air Force (IAF) at Namo Ghat, scheduled for approximately 1:00 pm. He will be joined by Union defence minister Rajnath Singh, governor Anandiben Patel and chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
The aerial display is expected to feature a showcase of precision flying and operational excellence, involving aircraft such as the Tejas, Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand, SU-30MKI and Rafale. The event will also feature joint operational demonstrations by the Indian Navy and Army, as well as performances by the Indian Air Force's premier display teams, including the Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team and the Sarang Helicopter Display Team.
