The 93rd Air Force Day will be celebrated today, honouring the bravery and indomitable spirit of the Indian Air Force personnel who safeguard the nation’s skies. The occasion also pays tribute to the courage and dedication of the air warriors who have contributed significantly to India’s defence.
As part of the celebrations, a special program has been organised at Lachit Ghat in Guwahati. From 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, the skies above the city will witness a spectacular air show, showcasing the aerial manoeuvres of fighter jets and helicopters. Over 75 aircraft, including Rafale, MIG, and Sukhoi jets, will participate in the central event, thrilling spectators with their precision and agility.
The air show will also pay homage to Assam’s beloved singer Zubeen Garg, with his popular song “Mayabini Ratir Bukut” accompanying the aerial display. Students from schools and colleges, as well as residents of old-age homes, have been invited to witness the performance. Enthusiasts can also view the flying display from Sati Radhika Shaanti Udyan in Uzan Bazar or from the comfort of their homes.
For visitors, arrangements have been made at the premises of Ashwaklanta Mandir to enjoy the air show safely.
