Dear DGCA NIA India Air India Wanted to draw your attention to a very serious matter. I was on AI 2469 Pune to Delhi. At three different times, when the flight was close to Delhi, three successive high power green colored lasers were beamed at the flight. I was able to capture only one. The flight path and log will be able to give you exact locations of the one I wasn’t able to capture. 1. Around 2120 - by the time I could get my phone and camera out, the plane had moved on and the beam stopped. Area unknown to me. 2. Around 2124 - I was able to record. The area was Churu- Tatanagar as informed by photo location feature. Recording attached. 3. Around 2128 - again, it flashed only for few seconds and by the time I started recording, it stopped. Area was Noida - Chapraula. I’ve highlighted the general area in the image attached. Threes successive beams, at regular intervals - you might want to check. There was a recent case in US just couple of weeks back where this laser pointing was taken very seriously by the agencies. And one odd guy fooling around is one thing. But same green colored laser, on path of a flight, beamed successively, requires an investigation for sure. First - Around

Finally watched #SafedSagar. Great show. Quality and research top notch. All actors doing justice to the role they were assigned. This is one of the best onscreen portrayal of forces’ ops and life. However, one scene really stayed with me. The moment when the fly boys are taking off from their base and army units are ready for attack huddled behind rocks, India is playing Pakistan in a cricket match. The director did a brilliant job of superimposing the commentary over the scenes. Not sure what his intention was but it always touches a raw nerve. When we were fighting war and losing hundreds of soldiers, even then the cricketing world thought it’s alright to play a match. A cricket match, although reminiscent of age old rivalry and enmity, is still NOT a war. Soldiers sacrifice their lives and limbs in a war, and come back home in coffins and wheelchairs. There’s either victory or death when you’re tasked to scale a height and capture it. In cricket, you can lose a match and still come back to your five star hotel room, wine and dine, and just plan for next match. Not taking away the dedication that cricketers have, because the decision lies with the sporting authorities and governments. Same thing happened after other terror attacks also. Somehow we’ve separated country from cricket when it comes to taking hard decisions. Maybe it’s all about money, maybe it’s something else. Whatever the reason is, somehow the protest of few gets drowned in the shouts of billion plus fans. I wish the nation understands what it means to stand by your soldiers, and to boycott a single day of sporting entertainment is not bigger than self respect. Jai Hind 🫡
