The Vajra Mushti Kalaga martial tradition was cancelled during Vijayadashami celebrations at the Mysuru palace due to police restrictions on wrestlers entering the premises on time. The royal family's Pramoda Devi Wadiyar expressed satisfaction with the successful completion of the Jamboo Savari, led by elephant Prashanta, who carried the golden howdah for the first time. The cancellation was allegedly caused by police preventing wrestlers from participating.

The Indian Air Force's 'Wings Over Ganga' air show kicked off on October 22, featuring 100 aircraft, including 52 fighter jets, and 32 helicopters. The three-day event, scheduled for October 22-25, marks the 94th anniversary of the Indian Air Force and will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other dignitaries. The air show aims to showcase the country's military capabilities and inspire young people to consider a career in the armed forces.
