The Indian Army’s Trishakti Corps completed the evacuation of stranded civilians under Operation HimSetu, rescuing 1,321 tourists and 84 locals within 48 hours despite adverse weather conditions.

The operation was carried out in a coordinated and seamless manner without any reported incidents, the Army said.

The evacuation effort was executed in close coordination with the civil administration and the Border Roads Organisation. Connectivity in the affected area was restored by constructing a temporary footbridge, which enabled the safe movement of stranded individuals.

The mission was led by Trishakti Corps under the aegis of the Eastern Command, showcasing swift response and effective disaster management capabilities.

Earlier on March 25, another similar incident took place when around 150-200 tourists were left stranded in Chungthang after multiple landslides were triggered by heavy rainfall in North Sikkim, according to DC Anant Jain.

Jain said the landslides occurred along key routes connecting Gangtok to Lachen and Chungthang to Lachen, leaving tourists en route to Lachen stuck at Chungthang. (ANI)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday higlighted that reservation for women in legislative bodies was the “need of the hour”. He said that any delay in bringing this reservation will be “deeply unfortunate”.

“Reservation for women in legislative bodies is the need of the hour! This will make our democracy even more vibrant and participative. Any delay in bringing this reservation will be deeply unfortunate. Expressed my thoughts on the issue in this Op-Ed,” PM Modi posted on X.

The PM’s remarks come as the Union cabinet on Thursday approved a draft amendment bill to the Women’s Reservation Act that will ensure its implementation in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. The amendment bill guarantees 33 per cent reservation in legislative bodies to women.

The Prime Minister also shared an open editorial on the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, in which he emphasised the “vast” contribution of women in nation-building and commended their achievements across every field in the present time.

PM Modi further noted that greater access to education, improved healthcare, enhanced financial inclusion, and basic amenities have strengthened the foundations of women’s participation in economic and social life.

“Women constitute nearly half of India’s population. Their contributions to our nation are vast and invaluable. Today, India is witnessing remarkable achievements by women across every field. From science and technology to entrepreneurship, from sports to the armed forces and from music to the arts, women are at the forefront of India’s progress. Over the years, sustained efforts have been made to create an enabling environment for women’s empowerment. Greater access to education, improved healthcare, enhanced financial inclusion and better access to basic amenities have strengthened the foundations of women’s participation in economic and social life,” the Prime Minister wrote in his article.

The Prime Minister further highlighted the efforts made by the previous governments towards ensuring women’s reservation, adding that it never “saw the light of day”. He further considered the passage of Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam as one of the most special occasions of his life.

“It is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and the Assembly elections to the various states in the coming times are conducted with women’s reservation in place. Over the decades, there have been repeated efforts to provide women with their rightful place in democratic institutions by the previous governments. Committees were made, bill drafts were introduced but they never saw the light of day. But the broad consensus has remained that women’s representation in legislative bodies has to increase. In September 2023, Parliament passed the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam with the same spirit of consensus. I consider it to be among the most special occasions of my life,” PM Modi wrote in his editorial.

PM Modi’s remarks come ahead of the special parliament session, set to commence from April 16, for discussion over the proposed amendment in Women’s Reservation Act.

While the government has called a special parliament session to discuss the Women’s Reservation Amendment Bill, the opposition parties have been constantly demanding an all-party meeting before the session.

Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday called for an all-party meeting and urged the government to discuss whatever proposal it has regarding the legislation.

“Congress has told the government to call an All-Party meeting and discuss whatever proposal it has. It should stop divide and rule politics,” Ramesh, General Secretary incharge of Communications, told ANI.

The Constitution (One Hundred and Sixth Amendment) Act, 2023, also known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, introduces a historic 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha.

The legislation rotationally reserves one-third of all seats for women in the Lower House of Parliament, Lok Sabha, and in all State Legislative Assemblies, including the Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, thus institutionalising representation of women in politics at the highest levels of public decision-making.

The act was enacted in September 2023, which sought to enhance women’s participation in politics and included specific quotas for SC/ST women within the reserved seats.

The Parliament passed the act, marking a historic milestone in its national journey to foster equitable representation of women in public life at all levels of the federal structure. (ANI)

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has offered an insight into the rare opportunities that female actors have lately received in the film industry.

In a conversation with ANI, Tamannaah expressed her delight about her upcoming projects and shared, “I’m really excited for all my features to come out one by one. It’s very interesting, not many actors and maybe more so female actors, get this sort of an opportunity. It has been like 21 years into my career, and I still feel like I’m starting off all over again.”

The actor also expressed immense delight while reflecting on receiving much acceptance in the South Indian film industry.

“There’s a sense of freshness, even for me as an actor. And I think even the audience is continuously sort of being so warm towards me and they’ve really accepted me so, so warmly. Largely because I had so much acceptance in the southern part of India.

But the kind of warmth I’m getting from all other parts of India is what is really, really exciting for me and also really humbling. And so I’m just constantly finding ways of how I can sort of give it back,” she added.

Tamannaah Bhatia was present in the national capital on Wednesday for the official launch of ‘Oristar’ – a new brand by Jayanta Lighting Innovation.

Associated as the brand ambassador for Oristar, Tamannaah was joined by Jayanta Group director Manish Gupta and actor Rohit Roy.

Dubbed a modern, technology-driven brand, Oristar promises to offer reliable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically designed fans and electrical appliances for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

For Tamannaah Bhatia on the work front, the actor will be next seen in Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar’s ‘Vvan’.

Produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film also features Sidharth Malhotra.

The movie is slated to release in theatres on the occassion of Raksha Bandhan this year. The film will debut in theatres on August 28. (ANI)

Inspired by chilling true events, the story is both compelling and entertaining, and I am excited to collaborate with Pulkit, whose work I have deeply admired, to bring this brilliant story to life.”

Despite the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, Lebanon on Wednesday saw one of the biggest strikes in the country. However, in an interview with CNN, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, said that the ceasefire covers Lebanon, despite Israeli strikes.

Responding to the questions about the parties of the ceasefire deal and Israeli strikes in Lebanon despite Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif claiming that the truce talks included peace for Beirut, Ambassador Sheikh called the understandings “authentic”.

He told CNN, “The description and understanding have come from the highest level in Pakistan, so it could not have been more authentic in terms of the offer made by the Prime Minister and accepted by the two conflicting parties of affording a ceasefire for two weeks”.

He added, “This is a situation of a ceasefire that could be disrupted and there have been instances in the past where ceasefires have been disrupted.”

Lebanon faces a critical moment as the country saw one of the largest strikes shortly after a ceasefire was announced between Iran and the United States.

Previously, Pakistan PM has stated that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire, but Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu both have dismissed this statement, allowing Israel to continue its military operations against Hezbollah.

As tensions escalate in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday that the country declared a day of mourning after a wave of Israeli strikes killed at least 254 people and injured more than 1,165 in a single day on Wednesday.

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Israelis will continue their offensive in South Lebanon aimed at neutralising the threat from Hezbollah, despite backing the US decision to suspend strikes against Iran as the two nations look to work out a lasting peace formula.

“Israel supports President Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks, subject to Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel and countries in the region. Israel also supports the US effort to ensure that Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbours and the world,” a statement from Netanyahu’s Office read.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, reaffirmed Tel Aviv’s objective is to achieve a situation without “Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure” in Southern Lebanon as Israel continues to strike Lebanon after the ceasefire with Iran.

Speaking with ANI, Reuven Azar differentiated between its conflict with Hezbollah and Iran, showing extensive support for the temporary ceasefire with Tehran, while reaffirming Tel Aviv’s goal in southern Lebanon.

“It has nothing to do with the operation in Iran. When it comes to Lebanon, as I said, we have to achieve a situation in which southern Lebanon will be cleaned from Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure. That’s the responsibility of the Lebanese government. When it comes to Iran, we hope that this negotiation will lead to the conditions that are part of the 15-point plan. That means no military nuclear capabilities on Iranian soil, curbing their ballistic missile program and a full stop to the proliferation of terror in the region,” he said. (ANI)

Pakistan attempted to present itself as a peacemaker between the US and Iran, but the new details from a Financial Times report suggest that it was rather pushed by White House to broker the temporary ceasefire with Iran.

The report poses serious questions about Pakistan’s independent diplomatic stance as it suggests that Islamabad was not a neutral broker but rather a convenient channel for the US to push the temporary ceasefire deal.

Financial Times, citing the people familiar with the talks, reported that the US leaned on Pakistan to present Washington’s proposal to Iran, making the country a mere messenger between the two sides rather than having an active neutral participation.

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, who was the first one to suggest a two-week ceasefire in public, was reduced to a spectator with Army chief Asim Munir playing a central role, holding urgent discussions with US officials, including Donald Trump, JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff.

Moreover, Pakistan’s involvement as a mediator did not come from its diplomatic prowess but with a belief that Iran was more “likely to accept the US-backed offer if it was delivered by a Muslim-majority neighbour state,” as per the report.

The blunder from Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif on a social media post, in a rush to claim credit, also exposed limited say over the deal.

Sharif, who framed the deal as Pakistan’s initiative, mistakenly included a subject line at the top of his post: “draft — Pakistan’s PM message on X”

Pakistan’s attempt to cast itself as a neutral player also came under threat when a drone attack hit the Saudi petrochemical hub of Jubail, a Financial Times report revealed. Islamabad had signed a mutual defence pact with Riyadh last year. Pakistan still stayed neutral, allowing it to engage in diplomatic efforts.

Pakistan PM has also stated that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire, but Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu both have dismissed this statement, allowing Israel to continue its military operations against Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, the diplomatic engagement between the US and Iran is set to take place in Islamabad this weekend, where both sides will hold direct talks aimed at ending weeks of intense hostilities following the outbreak of war.

The meeting follows an immediate ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran for two weeks after weeks of conflict in the region.

The US delegation will be led by Vice President JD Vance, and the Iranian delegation will be led by Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

This comes after Trump suspended the “bombing and attack” campaign on Iran, announcing a two-week double-sided ceasefire and saying that the 10-point proposal from Iran was workable. (ANI)

Following the announcement of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran to halt the hostilities in the region for two weeks, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported a defiant joint message from the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace and Navy branches.

The commanders issued a stern warning to adversaries, asserting their continued combat readiness despite the pause in hostilities. “They experienced it today and saw that our hands are on the trigger, and as soon as the enemy makes the slightest mistake, it will be responded to with full force,” the joint statement noted, according to the IRIB.

The message from the IRGC leadership emphasised that their forces remain positioned to react immediately to any perceived provocation, reiterating that any “slightest mistake” by the enemy would be met with “full force.”

While military commanders maintained a hardline stance, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday stated that the ceasefire deal between the US and Tehran reflects the collective will of the Iranian people and the country’s leadership, describing it as the result of sacrifice and national unity.

In a post on X, Pezeshkian framed the diplomatic breakthrough as a legacy of the conflict’s origins, stating the deal was the “fruit of the blood” of the former Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli strikes on February 28, initiating the over-a-month-long conflict in the region.

“The ceasefire, with the acceptance of the general principles desired by Iran, was the fruit of the blood of our great martyred leader Khamenei and the achievement of the presence of all the people on the scene. From today onward, we will also remain together, whether in the field of diplomacy, whether in the field of defence, whether on the street scene, and whether in the arena of service provision,” the Iranian President said.

This internal Iranian consensus follows a decisive shift from Washington, where US President Donald Trump suspended the “bombing and attack” campaign on Iran, announcing a two-week, double-sided ceasefire and saying that the 10-point proposal from Iran was “workable.”

In a post on Truth Social, Trump indicated that the proposal will serve as ground to negotiate for a permanent deal while reiterating that the US has already achieved most of its military objectives.

“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double-sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump said.

Detailing the rationale behind the pause, the US President added, “The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Long-term PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.” (ANI)

The Indian Super League 2025-26 season resumes with a defining encounter at the top of the table, as Jamshedpur FC is set to face Mumbai City FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex on Thursday.

The match pits the league’s top contenders against each other as the race for the title intensifies, according to a release from the ISL.

Jamshedpur FC return to the Furnace aiming to make full use of their home advantage and convert recent draws into victories. Under head coach Owen Coyle, the Men of Steel have proven remarkably resilient, most recently fighting back to hold Mohun Bagan Super Giant to a 1-1 draw.

Currently sitting fourth with 14 points from seven games, a victory on Thursday would see them move level on points with Mumbai City at the top.

Jamshedpur FC have historically held the upper hand in this fixture. In their 16 previous ISL encounters, the Men of Steel boast eight victories compared to Mumbai City’s four, with four matches ending in draws. Their most recent clash in January 2025 saw Jamshedpur secure a commanding 3-0 away victory in Mumbai.

As Jamshedpur head coach Owen Coyle pointed out, these are two of the most dominant sides in recent regular-season history.

“When the Shield became a 20-game format, only three teams have won it consistently – Mumbai, Mohun Bagan and ourselves,” Coyle stated. “Winning the Shield proves you are the best over the season. Mumbai have shown that since 2020. They are top on merit. But when we are at our best, we believe we can win. That’s what we must focus on tomorrow.”

Reflecting on their recent home performances and the electric atmosphere at the Furnace, Coyle added, “We chased the game after an outstanding goal from Liston. We dominated the final period and scored a great goal. The atmosphere was sensational. Now we want to carry that momentum forward.”

Jamshedpur FC defender Lazar Cirkovic expressed the team’s hunger to convert their recent draws into three points. “The last three games we didn’t win. We want to return to winning ways. It will be difficult but we respect Mumbai. We work hard every day to get the result,” Cirkovic noted.

When asked about their late comeback in the previous match, he added, “When you’re behind, getting a point is better than nothing. But we want wins. We are not fully satisfied.”

Mumbai City FC arrive in Jamshedpur looking to extend their dominance at the top of the standings. Coming off a 1-0 victory over Odisha FC, the Islanders have amassed 17 points, with a crucial three-point cushion over the chasing pack.

Head coach Petr Kratky’s side has built its campaign on possession-based control and a resolute defence, spearheaded by goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa, who produced another spectacular point-blank save in their last outing.

For Mumbai City FC, head coach Petr Kratky acknowledged the challenge of navigating a daunting stretch of the campaign. “Our next six games are against top opposition, so every game will be difficult,” Kratky explained. “Jamshedpur are one of the strongest teams. But I’m confident in our team and the atmosphere. It will be a great challenge and we’re excited.”

Mumbai City FC midfielder Lalnuntluanga Bawitlung emphasised the collective effort required to secure a result on the road. “We’re professional players. The coach teaches us tactics daily,” Bawitlung shared. “Everyone must have the mentality to contribute both in attack and defence. It’s all about balancing defensive duties with attacking contributions.”

With Mumbai City aiming to pull away at the top and Jamshedpur fighting to erase that deficit and claim a share of the lead, Thursday’s clash promises to play a pivotal role in the race for the League. (ANI)

I had an absolute blast filming with Shahid and Rashmika, and it was amazing to see even the international crew and dancers humming along and soaking in the energy of the song.”
