India's new Interceptor Missile: Know brief facts

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) System of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully scored a direct hit on incoming missile from Dr Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha. The interceptor directly hit the target at an altitude of about 15 kilometre and destroyed it into fragments. The spectacular success puts India in the league of a very few select nations world over in the arena of critical defence technology. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This direct interception is fourth in a row, where the missiles have scored a perfect hit on the incoming missile. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In text book style launch, the incoming ballistic missile was launched from LC-III complex of ITR, which followed the exact path of intended ballistic missile. Radars located at different stations far-off, acquired the target, tracked them and passed on to the Master Control Centre (MCC), which generated the expected trajectory of the target and alerted the interceptor missile. The interceptor was launched from Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Island at appropriate time for interception, which was initially guided by the Inertial Navigational System and the radars. Later, the seeker took over after a proper lock on to the target and guided the missile towards the target. All the radars, Electro Optical and Telemetry Stations tracked both the missiles and recorded the final interception. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri & Director General (Missiles & Strategic Systems) Dr G Sateesh Reddy was present during the launch operation said that the repeat performance of the interception demonstrates the country’s professional capability in high technology oriented Ballistic Missile Defence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chairman DRDO & Secretary Department of Defence Research & Development Dr S Christopher, congratulated the scientists behind the magnificent feat and said that the test paved the way for self-reliance. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When National Award-winning makeup and prosthetics specialist Preetisheel Singh designed Nawazuddin Siddiqui's look for the Sridevi starrer Mom, everyone was stunned by the transformation. The prosthetics expert has now created yet another transformational look for Nawazuddin for the role of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray in the upcoming biopic Thackeray.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever since the teaser of Thackeray was released by Uddhav Thackeray and Amitabh Bachchan, the look has been getting rave reviews and has been a topic of discussion amongst the public as well as the media. The film is presented by Sanjay Raut and directed by Abhijit Panse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I'm grateful to the makers for having shown faith and trust in my work," says Preetisheel. "When a legendary personality like Balasaheb Thackeray is being brought to life on celluloid, the responsibility is tremendous."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She has made a lot of heads turn with her work for actors in more than 15 movies including Bajirao Mastani, Rangoon, Brothers, Mom, Haider, Parched, Hawaizaada, Shivaay, Talwar, Housefull 3, Ghayal Once Again, Finding Fanny, the Tamil film 24 as well as the pre-Mughal historical epic Nanak Shah Fakir for which she won the 'National Film Award for Best Make-Up'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her work will also be seen in awaited movies like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, Umesh Shukla's 102 not Out, Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi and Sunny Deol's Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She puts in a strong word for Nawazuddin's dedication. "He is not only a brilliant actor but one who treats his art and profession like prayers. During the three-odd hours it took to get him into the look, his studious silence and study of his face was inspiring. It was as if he was in a meditative mode."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Preetisheel admits, she was overcome with anxiety about the reaction she would get from the makers. Recalling the situation during the teaser shoot she says, "When Nawazuddin finally emerged out of the makeup room for the first time in the get up, everyone had a very judging look on their faces. And then, suddenly I saw huge smiles everywhere. The makers were impressed. They praised me and shook hands with me. I can never forget that elated moment. I heaved a huge sigh of relief."</div>
