 In Manipur on Sunday 1 st September, there were two confirmed deaths and nine injuries in what is believed to be the first documented case of terrorists in India using weaponized drones to target civilians. Monday saw additional attacks in response to the drones’ dropping bombs on civilian areas. Three India Reserve Battalion bunkers in Meikhang village, Imphal East district, were destroyed. The conflict has taken an unsettling turn with the introduction of these drones. These drones have been weaponized, and they can operate from 500 meters to 15 kilometers away. The threat is made more complex by the fact that they are capable of carrying a variety of explosives, such as mortar bombs and hand grenades, and that they have rotor systems that enable them to hover and take pictures. State DGP Rajiv Singh observed the attack's uniqueness: "This (drone attack) is a new thing." Experts such as the National Security Guards (NSG) are in contact with us. In order to devise ...

 A three-member delegation of US diplomats visited Srinagar on 26th August ahead of the Assembly elections in the Union Territory after a gap of 10 years. "The visit is well within the boundaries of diplomatic outreach mechanism of the US State Department," a senior government official told. According to the official, the visits are not unusual as similar visits with diplomats were common in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. "They get a chance to make on-ground assessments," he said. We would like to know why Mr. Omar Abdulla and the US delegates met before the Jammu and Kashmir elections. What intentions do they have? The US delegate met with the leaders of Janta Dal United and Shri Chandrababu Naidu and visited Jammu & Kashmir. If we pay great attention, there is definitely something cooking behind the visits. Their goals are different. The Bangladeshi government of Sheikh Haseena had already been overthrown by the US. The US and the "Deep Sta...

  The world is eagerly awaiting Russia and Ukraine's crisis to be resolved. It has been a while, and both sides are still experiencing losses and harm to people. They are struggling economically, so they are looking for someone to take the lead in bringing about peace in the area. India now has a role to play, and it is right to seize this chance to expand its horizons. NATO members are fully aware that Russia will not listen to calls for a ceasefire from China, Turkey, or any other nation. Ukraine, on the other hand, will follow suit. Another reality is that the US and NATO will continue to wage war despite the economic downturn because they wish to sell Ukraine their defense supplies. Ukraine must pay for all of the defense assistance it currently receives, today or tomorrow. This is the double game that the US and NATO are playing. India is a close friend of Russia, as both the Ukraine and friendly allies are aware. Russia is capable of reaching the stage when it and India c...

Additionally, he paid respects at the Monument to the Battle of Monte Cassino, which honors the 1944 campaign to seize an abbey perched on a mountaintop close to Rome. This combat claimed the lives of hundreds of Indian soldiers fighting for the British Army.   After completing his engagements in Poland on Thursday, Modi will travel by road and rail to reach Ukraine the following day.

PM Modi’s visit is seen as the strong voice of ...

 It will be the first time an Indian politician has visited Poland in almost 50 years when Prime Minister Narendra Modi travels there after 45 years. The visit, slated for August 21–22, is especially noteworthy because it falls on the 70th anniversary of Poland and India's diplomatic ties. Dariusz Jonski, a member of the European Parliament, emphasized the significance of this visit for commercial and political ties. He observed Poland's strong interest in discussing healthcare, as the nation desperately needs 25,000 physicians and specialists and potential IT sector partnerships with Indian businesses. Jonski noted that PM Modi's visit would strengthen the bilateral connections between the two nations. The Indian population in Poland has shown a tremendous deal of excitement for the visit, particularly in Lodz.

Jaspal Rana a veteran of Indian shooting and pistol coaching has raised an interesting question while giving an interview to the Bridge Sports said that where is Jitu Rai where is Saurabh Chaudhary who have immensely contributed to Shooting.  Somewhere down the line the system currently needs to create an environment where not only the talent nourishes or sustains but also creates an ecosystem where talent and experience co-exist.
