H(AIR) RAISING SHOW IT WAS: To commemorate the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Indian Air Force,
a mega air show was organised at Marina yesterday. The show attracted curious onlookers in large numbers
from various parts of the city. The fighter planes of the Air Force showed the might of the air defence, the pilots
their skills. Enthusiastic crowds thronged the venue since the afternoon to catch a glimpse of the colourful show
which included an acrobatic performance by Suryakiran team, a flypast by the Jaguar team,
and para jumping by Akash Ganga team.

taken in Chennai - traffic signals on Anna Road, M G R Nagar. are blocked by a huge
hoarding while at Tambaram, a bus- stop board has almost come off its hinges.
