(@NarendraModi/Yt via PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: PM Modi arrived in Jakarta Monday for the first leg of his three-nation tour to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand that he said will further strengthen India’s Act East Policy, MAHASAGAR Vision and India’s outlook towards a free and open Indo-Pacific.He was received at the airport by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and ministers. The leaders will have a formal bilateral meeting Tuesday that will be followed by the signing of several MoUs for bilateral cooperation in a range of areas, including trade, defence, food security, critical minerals and maritime security.In defence, the leaders will take note of progress in discussions for supply of supersonic cruise missile BrahMos to Indonesia. In fact, Indian ambassador to Indonesia Sandeep Chakravorty said that both sides hope to conclude certain agreements related to BrahMos during the visit.”India’s defence and security cooperation has seen increased momentum and expanding scope through high-level visits, regular bilateral and multilateral exercises and deeper defence industry cooperation, including the sale of BrahMos. India will also be earmarking slots for Indonesian cadets and officers in NDA which will enhance defence capacity building,” said a source.According to official sources, critical minerals is another key area of cooperation with Indonesia as the southeast Asian country is a dominant force in this sector, commanding roughly 21% of the world’s nickel reserves and ranking among the top global producers of copper, bauxite and tin.Modi and Prabowo will also visit Prambanan Temple Complex, the largest temple complex dedicated to Lord Shiva in Indonesia. India is helping Indonesia with the temple restoration work. “India and Indonesia share strong civilisational and people-to-people ties and my visit will further deepen all aspects of our multifaceted partnership,” said Modi, who will also address a diaspora event in the country. India will also be commemorating the centenary of Rabindranath Tagore’s visit to Indonesia in 2027.After Indonesia, Modi will travel to Australia for a geopolitically significant visit. “It will further cement ties between two QUAD partners who are playing greater roles in the Indo-Pacific, bringing new opportunities and prosperity for people and countries, especially the Small Island Developing States,” said a source on the condition of anonymity.Modi said his visit to Australia will enhance relations in the areas of defence and security, trade and investments, education and mobility and people-to-people ties. In Melbourne, “I will have the opportunity to interact with the Indian diaspora which is an important pillar of our strategic partnership,” he said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Further operations are under way to neutralise the militants, police said in the statement.Sources said two AR personnel, identified as Warrant Officer Balwant Singh and constable CM Singh, who was reportedly driving the vehicle at the time of the attack, were critically injured in the ambush. Both later succumbed to their injuries.The incident took place around 2pm when personnel of 40 Assam Rifles were travelling to their battalion headquarters at Shangshak from Ukhrul headquarters.Breakaway group behind ambush, says NSCN(IM)Monday’s attack on Assam Rifles personnel, about 17 km from Ukhrul district headquarters, marks the second major strike on Assam Rifles personnel since the outbreak of the Manipur ethnic conflict in May 2023, following the Sept 2025 assault in Nambol in Bishnupur district that killed two and injured five other personnel.According to local villagers, heavy gunfire and multiple explosions rocked the area for nearly two hours, sending panic through nearby villages. The circumstances surrounding the ambush and the identity of the attackers were not immediately known.No militant group has claimed responsibility, and the Assam Rifles has yet to issue an official statement on the incident. However, the NSCN(IM), which has its stronghold in Ukhrul district, said the ambush is suspected to have been carried out by a “breakaway Eastern Flank faction”.Get the latest India news and live updates.

HC seeks response of Centre, ASI on inspection plea Representational image NEW DELHI: A report by Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), which recommended rollout of E20, had concluded that using the fuel in E10-compliant vehicles showed deterioration in rubber parts of fuel-system components, such as hoses, gaskets, seals and O-rings.The study, not yet made public, has been a reference point for govt and vehicle makers. It had said these parts “may need replacement”. On all vehicles tested, E20 was found to have no adverse impact on metallic components, and emissions with E20 were within legislative limits on E10-compatible vehicles.The study’s findings on the impact of E20 fuel on E10 vehicles also stated that during “4-wheeler engine durability test”, the performance of one BS-IV engine was acceptable with E20, but “issue was observed with BS-VI turbo charged engine after 265 hours of durability”.The part of the study that dealt with “engine durability” stated that two four-wheeler vehicle manufacturers, or OEMs, carried out the test. While for one OEM, no issue was observed for engine durability after 400 hours of testing and performance was acceptable with E20 fuel, in the case of the other OEM, “thermomechanical failure of exhaust valve was observed in the engine(s) tested cumulatively for 809 hours”.People aware of the findings said there could be other reasons for thermomechanical failure of the exhaust valve in the case of the second OEM. However, experts involved in vehicle testing said that generally engine durability tests are carried out for 2,000 hours.As per the report, engine durability tests conducted by three two-wheeler manufacturers found no issue, and the “performance is acceptable with E20 fuel”.It had also concluded that fuel consumption of vehicles with E20 increased 2-6% compared to E10. However, the percentage increase in fuel consumption varies vehicle to vehicle.Get the latest India news and live updates.

One J&K resident was also shot dead.NIA said the second chargesheet has details of the role played by Saeed, with supporting evidence compiled by it based “on meticulous and scientific investigation and on-ground examination”.NIA finds digital trail to LeT in Pahalgam attackThe second NIA chargesheet came almost seven months after NIA filed the original chargesheet naming six people, including Pakistani terror handler and Hafiz Saeed’s close aide Sajid Jatt.Saeed, who has in the past figured in multiple terror chargesheets, including in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks case, was Monday charged in the Pahalgam case both in his individual capacity and as chief of LeT and its proxy The Resistance Front (TRF).Both LeT and TRF are proscribed as “terrorist” outfits in India under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. As per Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, Saeed shall face trial in absentia, enabling courts to pronounce judgment.Sources said Saeed – in line with instructions given by Pakistani state actors and the ISI – had told Jatt to carry out a major attack in Pahalgam, targeted against security forces or tourists.There were specific directions to engage only Pakistani terrorists to execute the attack, while keeping involvement of local Kashmiris minimal and strictly on a need-to-know basis.This was done to keep the plot tightly under wraps and retain the ‘surprise’ element so as to maximise casualties, said a source.NIA unearthed irrefutable evidence, including chats, mobile data analysis and GPS logs, on the involvement of top LeT brass in planning as well as successful execution of the Pahalgam attack.Saeed has been charged under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and UAPA. NIA also invoked the penal section against the accused for waging war against India and hatching a conspiracy from across the border in the chargesheet.In its earlier chargesheet filed on Dec 15, 2025, NIA had named Pakistani handler terrorist Jatt as an accused, along with three terrorists killed by security forces during Operation Mahadev in July 2025, as well as two arrested accused. It had also charged LeT/TRF as a legal entity that planned, facilitated and executed the carnage of tourists after identifying their religious faith.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Livestream fight explained BJP national president Nitin Nabin (File photo) NEW DELHI: At the receiving end of mocking remarks from Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal, BJP president Nitin Nabin Monday drew public endorsement from PM Narendra Modi, who said his simplicity is a matter of pride for every BJP worker.Modi cited social media posts from a person who studied with Nabin in school and then college in Delhi and shared incidents of the period to underline his modesty and lack of airs despite being the son of an MLA from Bihar, to praise him.”This simplicity is a matter of pride for every BJP worker,” he said.PM’s intervention came days after Reddy made what BJP slammed as belittling remarks for its president. “Recently, a guy came here, Nabin or whatever, I don’t really know his name. But he comes here and says the next govt is theirs,” Reddy said at an event in Hyderabad.On a tour to Telangana, Nabin had claimed BJP will form the next govt in the state, drawing the jibe from Reddy.Kejriwal had posted a snide remark, reacting to Nabin’s attack on him and a few other opposition leaders for keeping quiet when their party colleagues allegedly insult Hindu gods. “Who are you,” the ex-Delhi CM had posted.The mocking comments from the opposition members were in an apparent reference to BJP president’s relative lack of national recognition before he was picked for the top organisational office by his party brass.Nabin was a five-term MLA from Bihar and a minister in the state govt before being elected to the national office.His school and college mate cited several examples, including that Nabin travelled by DTC bus to save money and chose to live in Mandawali in West Vinod Nagar as the monthly allowance sent to him by his father was not enough to rent flat in a society.Nabin entered politics after BJP fielded him to contest the assembly bypoll caused by the death of his father in 2006.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Controversial remarks lead to deportation calls from Alex Jones Political parties and Sikh bodies in Punjab have strongly condemned the removal of Diljit Dosanjh’s film “Satluj” from ZEE5 NEW DELHI: Govt invoked security grounds to ask ZEE5 to pull down ‘Satluj’ after its makers released the movie ‘Punjab 95′ under the new name on the OTT platform as the film’s theatrical release remained in limbo for nearly three years due to censor’s objections to parts of its content.’Satluj’ features actor Diljit Dosanjh playing human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra who uncovered rights abuses allegedly by Punjab Police in its fight against terrorism before disappearing in 1995. Four police personnel were later convicted for his abduction and murder.The movie-makers did not come back to the censor board, and with content regulations for OTT more relaxed than big screen and TV, they released it with a new name on ZEE5, where it remained available for two days.Using its powers, govt asked the platform to remove it due to security reasons, sources said.The decade between mid-80s and mid-90s was a rather turbulent and volatile period in Punjab, as pro-Khalistan terror groups ran amok before being reined in and neutralised by police, who were accused of numerous excesses in their operations.The movie-makers’ decision to release the movie on OTT has again brought to fore the issue of regulation in the new mode of entertainment and information, an issue flagged by a parliamentary standing committee headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey in its report.The committee has made recommendations, including amendments in existing laws, to deal with the issue.’Encounter’ victims kin oppose film banThe ban on ‘Satluj’has reopened painful memories for families who lost loved ones, still listed as missing. Relatives of many such victims told TOI that it should not have been banned as it highlights a painful chapter of Punjab’s history that needs to be acknowledged rather than suppressed. “There can never be justice for what we lost,” was the common sentiment expressed by the families, who said “Satluj” should be screened so that younger generations may understand what many endured.Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: With the maiden BJP govt in Bengal organising a grand event in Kolkata to commemorate Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his 125th birth anniversary, PM Narendra Modi lauded his efforts to ensure that the state became a part of India during Partition and said the seed of the idea he planted is now flourishing everywhere.In a virtual address, he said “conspiracies” were devised at that time to separate the region of Bengal from the country. “During this critical time, Mookerjee stood firm against these conspiracies. He mobilised public support, engaged in political struggles, and ensured that Bengal remained an integral part of the nation,” he said.Modi noted that Mookerjee had then stated – “Congress partitioned the country, and I partitioned Pakistan.” The M A Jinnah-led Muslim League had then lobbied to get entire Bengal in Pakistan.Modi also praised Mookerjee’s vision as industry minister in the first govt headed by Jawaharlal Nehru before he quit due to his increasing differences with the first PM. Exploring his economic foresight as industry minister, Modi catalogued the establishment of monumental entities like Chittaranjan Locomotive Works, Sindri Fertilizer Plant, Damodar Valley Corporation and IFCI. “He laid the foundation for such national institutions which became India’s economic strength for decades to come,” the PM said.Modi said many ideas lose their sheen with time but the ideological movement that Mookerjee started, when there was little space for a different worldview in the Congress-dominated politics, is continuing to expand at a fast pace.”When govt is formed by those having the resolve of nation first, then national heroes are recognised and efforts made to implement their vision,” he said, asserting that it is a matter of double happiness for Bengal as the event is being held in the state, the birthplace of Mookerjee.”Our govt is proud that we fulfilled his dream by removing Article 370 (in J&K),” he said, adding that Mookerjee wanted all regions and states being equal while holding their distinct identity and believed in the recognition of Indian languages. “He fiercely opposed the talk of two constitutions, two PMs, and two flags in the country,” the PM said. He also acknowledged Mookerjee’s ultimate sacrifice made in Kashmir for unification.Get the latest India news and live updates.

The proposal – part of draft amendments to Motor Vehicles Act for “ease of living” – was presented to an informal Group of Ministers (iGoM) last week.At present, Section 47 of the law mandates that if a vehicle registered in one state remains in another for more than a year, its owner must apply for fresh registration in the new state.”The proposal aims at helping people who plan to come back to their home state after 2-3 years of completing an assignment. Re-registration of a vehicle in a new state and revoking it after returning to home state is a hassle for people,” said an official.The move will complement the Bharat (BH) series registration, which allows eligible car owners to drive across all states and UTs without re-registration.Abhay Damle, a former joint secretary (transport), pointed out that it addresses only part of the problem. “The larger issue is the wide disparity in road tax across states.””The solution lies in harmonising road tax rates across states, supported by a seamless transfer process through the Vahan portal and a transparent mechanism for pro-rata transfer of road tax between states,” he said.In another move, the ministry has proposed a new section in the law mandating states to appoint adjudicating authorities for compounding penalties and establish electronic means within six months. This has been proposed due to decriminalisation of several provisions, enabling adjudication of penalties by executive authorities, rather than the courts.Get the latest India news and live updates.
