The tragedy occurred on the inaugural day of the three-day National Invitational Pro-Kabaddi tournament being organised by the Dakhina Kannada Amateur Kabaddi Association.

Around 2,000 people had come to watch the match between two teams of which one had players from Dakshina Kannada. The viewers gallery was placed on three sides, while the fourth formed the stage. The match was being played in the centre.

Hundreds of spectators were seated on the gallery on the right side of the stage. Around 9 p.m. the gallery tilted towards the back. Those seated on the top row fell on the ground. Following this, the organisers switched off power and this led to tension.

Police Sub Inspector Satish and a team of policemen rushed to the spot and quickly arranged to shift a dozen injured persons to the A.J. Hospital and NMPT Hospital. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sanjeev Patil said that five persons suffered grievous injuries, including fracture.

The Panambur police said that the cause for the mishap is being investigated.

Among the teams scheduled taking part are ONGC Delhi, Air India Mumbai, Central Railways, Dena Bank, Maharashtra State Police, State Bank of Mysore, HAL, and High Tech from Chennai. Local teams such as Alva's College and Sporting Ullal have also taken part.

If the gallery collapses on first day then better to call of the tourney on first day itself to avoid a bigger tragedy. Organisers should be charged with attempt to murder for this carelessness.

New Delhi, Jul 29: Air Commodore Hilal Ahmad Rather has become a buzz name in Kashmir overnight. Hilal saw off the first batch of Rafale jets which took off from France to India on Monday. Among other things, he has also been associated with the weaponisation of the Rafale aircraft for acclimatisation to Indian requirements.

Hilal is presently India's Air Attache in France.

The career details of this officer of the Indian Air Force (IAF) read like the decoration scroll of the best flying officer anywhere in the world.

Born in the south Kashmir's Anantnag district to middle-class parents, Hilal's father, late Mohammad Abdullah Rather retired as a deputy superintendent of police (Dy SP) in J&K police department. He has three sisters and is the only son of his parents. Hilal studied in Sainik School in Nagrota town of Jammu district.

He was commissioned in IAF as a fighter pilot on December 17, 1988, became flight lieutenant in 1993, wing commander in 2004, group captain in 2016 and air commodore in 2019.

He graduated from defence services staff college (DSSC). He also graduated from air war college (USA) with distinction. He won the sword of honour in NDA. Hilal is also the recipient of Vayu Sena Medal and Vishisht Seva medal.

With an impeccable record of 3,000 accident-free flying hours on mirage-2000, MIG-21 and Kiran aircraft, Hilal's name will now forever be associated with Rafale in India.
