On the eve of the Red Fort blast anniversary, central security agencies have tightened nationwide vigilance. A year of zero-tolerance counterterrorism in numbers:• 300+ arrests & 73 high-value fugitives deported • Case solved in 24 hrs; 13 accused charge-sheeted • Driven by the 'PRAHAAR' National CT Policy & tighter precursor controls @SrinagarPolice @JmuKmrPolice @KashmirPolice @NIA_India A story on @PTI_News reproduced by @ThePrintIndia theprint.in/india/red-fort-b…

Submarine sorties, #Sukhoi jets, #Siachen #glacier #KalamSir lived with fearless grit. But nothing captures the People’s President quite like one night in #Mizoram in 2005. Having finished his official duties in Aizawl, Dr. Kalam saw no reason to wait until sunrise. When told the airport had no night-takeoff facilities, the Supreme Commander’s response was immediate: "What if there is an emergency? Will the IAF wait for morning?" With no night landing/takeoff gear available, @IAF_MCC personnel lined the runway with lanterns, flaming torches, and bonfires to create an improvised airstrip. When asked if it was safe, an officer ominously replied, "You can take off, but there may be some problems if you have to return." Undeterred, at 9 PM, the Presidential Boeing took off into the dark—guided only by firelight and pure determination. A true leader who lived with courage, urgency, and an unstoppable spirit! Having covered #KalamSir extensively during his tenure, this was a story that was told to the world when he demitted office and again rewritten on the day he bid farewell to the world.

From a quiet roadside retreat to a pilgrimage site for cinema lovers. Nestled along #Kashmir’s #Khanbal-#Pahalgam road, #Cafe #Sifar (meaning 'zero') has transformed into a thriving haven for #South #Indian travelers. Ever since @TVKVijayHQ filmed key sequences of #Leo here, fans from #Tamil #Nadu and beyond flock daily to sip hot chocolate, sample local trout, and step right into the frames of @Dir_Lokesh blockbuster action-thriller. #Cinema truly knows no borders—turning an unassuming spot in #Mattan into an essential, unforgettable stopover on the #Kashmir trail.

More than 200 sight-restoring surgeries in 48 hours—conducted inside an operation theatre along the shelling-prone LoC in J&K. Through ‘Operation Drishti’, the Indian Army’s AFMS brought life-changing eye care to elderly residents across 59 border villages in Tangdhar and Karnah valley, overcoming remote terrain and poverty to restore vision and hope where it was needed most. @ChinarcorpsIA @NorthernComd_IA @dgafms_mod A story on @PTI_News reproduced by @ThePrintIndia theprint.in/india/from-guard…

Srinagar MP @RuhullahMehdi refuses to engage with the @OfficeOfLGJandK on the #reservation issue. In an intense two-hour X Space conversation, the estranged @JKNC_ leader made his stance clear by refusing to take the ongoing reservation debate to the Lt Governor. The #Lok #Sabha MP labelled the office an "undemocratically imposed institution" akin to a colonial viceroy. With a November 3 deadline set to leave the National Conference, the MP called his departure a "foregone conclusion." Now he is on a #headhunting mission to find #like-minded people.

A hero doesn’t belong to just one family; he belongs to an entire nation. Seeing young Kabir and Baani stand tall alongside their mother, Jagmeet Ji, as a road and park in Mohali were dedicated to Kirti Chakra awardee Col Manpreet Singh, breaks your heart and swells it with pride all at once. A third-generation soldier who gave his today for our tomorrow in the Kashmir Valley, his supreme sacrifice will echo down the Shaheed Col Manpreet Singh Marg for generations to come.

Troops of @ChinarcorpsIA #victorforce have neutralised Yasir, a Pakistani #Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, in the upper reaches of #Yusmarg. Active since 2024, Yasir was linked to major attacks including the Poonch IAF convoy ambush, the Sonamarg civilian workers attack, and the Bota Pathri army ambush. Despite relentless rain and visibility dropping to five meters between 12,000 and 15,500 feet in the Pir Panjal range, #army and #Special #Forces continue to dominate the area as a massive hunt stays underway for a second terrorist hiding in natural caves and boulders.

Custodial deaths at #Poonch: Armed Forces Tribunal’s decision to strike out record of a senior army officer draws ire of prominent #Gujjar community leaders and activists.

World might have moved on but the residents of the “crumbling” #Jagti township, situated 30 km from the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir, continue to reel under the memories of their abandoned homes and the harsh truth of their displacement.
