A detailed analysis of the very low frequency (VLF) wave data obtained during whistler campaigns under All India Coordinated Program of lonosphere Thermosphere Studies (AICPITS) at the low latitude ground station Jammu (geomagnetic latitude = 22° 26/ N, L = 1.17) has yielded two types of unusual and unique whistler-triggered VLF emissions. These include (1) Whistler-triggered hook VLF emissions and (2) Whistler-triggered long enduring discrete chorus VLF emissions during night time. Such types of whistler-triggered VLF emissions have not been reported earlier from the ground observations at low latitudes. In the present study, the observed characteristics of these emissions are described and interpretated, Dispersion analysis of these emissions show that the whistlers have propagated along a path with L-values lying between L = 2.4 and 3.6, suggesting that these whistlers are to be regarded as mid-latitude whistlers. These waves could have propagated along the geomagnetic field lines earlier in a ducted mode or in a pro-longitudinal mode. It is speculated that these emissions may have been generated through a process of resonant interaction of the whistler waves with energetic electrons.
