Five soldiers, two of whom were captains, were also killed in action in November of last year following the Army and its special forces' anti-terror operation in Rajouri's Kalakote. Ten soldiers lost their lives in action during two separate attacks in the Rajouri-Poonch area in April and May of 2023. Between 2003 and 2021, this area had been relatively free of acts of terrorism; however, following that, encounters became more frequent. In the course of 2021 and 2022, anti-terror operations in the region resulted in the deaths of over 35 soldiers.According to sources in the security wing, Pir Panjal, which includes Rajouri district in addition to Poonch and portions of Reasi districts, has seen an increase in militancy in recent years.

NEW DELHI, Jan 2: According to a senior government official, the use of drones to smuggle weapons and drugs into Indian territory from across the border will end in the next six months because an indigenous anti-drone technology is being developed to stop all such misadventures by the anti-national elements. Up to three distinct designs of anti-drone technology are being developed by security agencies; the final product may combine any or all of the designs. "In the next six months, the threat of using drones to smuggle weapons and drugs across the border will end. Without a doubt, anti-drone technology will be installed by then, the official stated.The new technology is still undergoing trials and is nearing finalisation. For a number of years now, security agencies have faced a significant challenge due to the dropping of weapons, ammunition, and drugs from Pakistan into Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir via drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In August, the government announced that during the previous three years, 53 instances of drone smuggling of weapons and drugs from Punjab across the border had been found.The government has taken several measures to curb the threat, such as having the BSF effectively control the borders around-the-clock, monitoring, patrolling, installing nakas, and staffing observation posts along the international border. The Ministry of Home Affairs established the Anti Rogue Drone Technology Committee in March of last year, under the direction of the director general of the Border Security Force. The committee's task is to assess the technology available to combat rogue drones and certify that it is effective in combating these uncontrolled aerial vehicles. Nisith Pramanik, the Union Minister of State for Home, made this announcement.

Tokyo [Japan], Jan 2: Japan Airlines Flight 516, travelling from New Chitose Airport, burst into flames shortly after landing on Runway C at Haneda Airport on Tuesday at around 5:47 p.m. (local time), according to a startling incident that was reported by Japanese public broadcaster NHK. According to the report, the current state of affairs points to a possible collision with a Japan Coast Guard aircraft. According to Japan Airlines, there were 367 passengers and 12 crew members on board, including 8 children. Safe evacuation of all 379 occupants of the aircraft, including the crew, was achieved.The Tokyo Fire Department has sent out at least 70 fire trucks and other vehicles as part of a massive emergency response in response to the incident, according to NHK. According to reports, the aircraft that collided with the Japan Airlines flight was a fixed-wing MA722 aircraft from Haneda Air Base. One of the six occupants of the fixed-wing aircraft has apparently managed to escape, but it is still unclear how the other five are doing. The terrifying moment when flames shot from the aircraft shortly after it touched down was captured on camera footage from cameras that Japan Airlines and NHK had installed at Haneda Airport. Given that the flight was scheduled to take off from New Chitose Airport at 4 pm and land at Haneda Airport at 5:40 pm, the incident happened during what should have been a routine landing. In order to gather and organise information about the incident, the government quickly set up an information liaison room at the Prime Minister's Office Crisis Management Centre at 6:05 p.m. on Tuesday. Around six o'clock at night, Haneda Airport closed all of its runways in response to the emergency, severely disrupting air travel.Information has been provided by representatives of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism that points to a possible collision between the Japan Airlines Airbus A350 operating out of New Chitose Airport and a Japan Coast Guard aircraft nearby the runway. Official determination of the collision's cause is still pending. According to the Japan Airlines Building's disaster prevention centre at Haneda Airport, the fire is restricted to Runway C. The seriousness of the incident raises questions about the safety procedures in place at one of Japan's busiest airports despite efforts to control the situation, NHK reported.

According to INSACOG data, JN.1 was found in 239 of the country's recorded Covid cases in December, compared to 24 cases in November.Despite its fast spreading nature, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has designated JN.1 as a distinct "variant of interest" and stated that it presents a "low" risk to global public health. The world body stated that the JN.1 sub-variant of the coronavirus was previously categorised as a variant of interest (VOI) as a component of the parent lineage that is categorised as a VOI, the BA.2.86 sub-lineages. Nonetheless, JN.1 cases have been reported from several nations in recent weeks, and the virus's prevalence has risen sharply worldwide. Due to an increase in Covid cases and the discovery of the JN.1 sub-variant in the nation, the Centre has requested that the states and Union territories keep a continuous watch. The Health Ministry released data on Tuesday showing that there were 573 new coronavirus infections in India, while there were 4,565 active cases.

Srinagar, Jan 2: Divisional Commissioner for Kashmir Vijay Kumar Bhiduri asked people on Tuesday not to incite panic by swarming petrol stations with cars and bottles, saying that the Valley had nearly a month's worth of petrol, diesel, kerosene and LPG in stock. According to the Divisional Commissioner, there is no shortage of petrol, kerosene or LPG, so people swarming the petrol pumps with cars and petrol bottles will cause panic. "We have nearly a month's worth of supplies of petrol, diesel and LPG in Kashmir," Bhiduri declared. He advised people to maintain their composure rather than panic. The strike by transporters won't have an impact on Kashmir. The Transporters are having parleys.

Jammu, Jan 2: People in Jammu are suffering as a result of multiple petrol stations going dry due to the transporters' walkout against a new Central government law regarding hit-and-run incidents. Under the auspices of the All J&K Transporters Association, transporters from several districts in the Jammu region staged protests calling for the repeal of the new law. "Every citizen should be subject to the law. Why, in hit-and-run incidents, are only commercial vehicle drivers subject to severe penalties and hefty fines? asked the leader of the transporters union. He suggested that the government change the law in response to a request. Due to the tankers' refusal to supply fuel, several filling stations went dry during the strike.There was a massive rush of people waiting in queue for fuel at a few petrol pumps. The transporters protested at the entrance to Jammu and Kashmir, Lakhanpur, in the Kathua district.
