Dimapur: Residents of Dimapur once again witnessed the Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets flying in and out of Dimapur airport in the past few days. As the planes soared, so did rumours but speculations have been put to rest by officials.
The director of Dimapur airport, Mughavi Zhimo informed Eastern Mirror that it was a routine air force exercise being carried out currently in various places, apart from Dimapur. He informed that the routine exercise is being carried out in Imphal and other parts of the country as well and is scheduled to go on till October 19.
Zhimo also said that the aeroplanes that were supplementary to the IAF exercises included transport carriers as well as fighter jets like the Sukhoi Su-30 MKI.
An IAF official also informed that a similar training and exercise will be carried out at Silchar on October 29. “These are nothing but annual practices and the public should not be worried,” the official said.
The official informed that such fighter jets of the IAF will never be used for conflict in its own territory; hence speculation on social media of an air strike is completely untrue.
