Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 8 (ANI): Singer Arijit Singh’s Abu Dhabi concert, which was scheduled to take place on May 9, has been postponed.

Earlier on Thursday morning, the makers of “Bhool Chuk Maaf,” which starred Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, cancelled the theatrical release of the film following increased security drills around India. Now, the movie will debut on OTT.
Maddock Films, ‘Bhook Chuk Maaf’s’ official production house, released the statement a day before its release on May 9, which says, “In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16–only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theatres, the spirit of the nation comes first. JAI HIND (sic).”
Early on May 7 morning, India executed a coordinated assault using long-range high-precision strike weapons, destroying nine sites in PoK and deep inside Pakistan in an operation codenamed ‘Sindoor’. Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets on the night of May 7.
Over 100 terrorists were eliminated in a series of precision strikes launched in the early hours of Wednesday, according to sources. The operation, aimed at avenging the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed, remains underway, making it challenging to provide an exact casualty count of the terrorists at this stage, sources further stated.
Following the operation, military targets were engaged in Northern and Western India, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles.
These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks. Indian Air Force S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence missile systems were fired last night against targets moving towards India. (ANI)
