Pahalgam attack terrorists WANTED! Those who help J&K police find culprits will get ₹20 lakh reward, posters emerge
The poster reads: 'Wanted terrorists; Please help find the culprits behind the murder of innocents. A prize of ₹ 20 lakhs. [roughly translated from Urdu].'
At least 26 people were killed after a group of terrorists opened fire at Jammu and Kashmir's tourist spot Pahalgam on April 22.
"Recently, on 22.04.2025, the terrorist attack in Pahalgam led to the killing of several Indians, one Nepali citizen, and injuries to a number of others," a government's advisory mentioned earlier.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said a group called the Resistance Front (TRS) claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran. This group is said to be an off-shoot of terror group Lashkar-e Taiba.
Misri alleged that Pakistan links were established in this attack.
Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, "The barbarism that terrorists have shown has shaken the country and the world".
"Those innocent people who were celebrating the leaves were killed in front of their families, after being asked about their religion," PM Modi said.
PM Modi said the forces had been given full freedom to wipe out terrorists.
In retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, India launched "Operation Sindoor" on May 7.
Under "Operation Sindoor", Indian armed forces targeted nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
India's Ministry of Defence was in direct response to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22 that killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen and injured several others.
The subsequent aggression by Pakistan was effectively repelled by Indian Armed Forces who also pounded Pakistan airbases.

Indian Army's 'Rudra' all-arms brigades reflect change, not rehash
While building on earlier initiatives such as the Integrated Battle Group concept, experts emphasise that the shift should be recognised as a distinct evolution Bhaswar Kumar New Delhi Listen to This Article The Indian Army's reorganisation into new frontline formations — the 'Rudra' all-arms brigades, 'Bhairav' light commando battalions, and 'Shaktibaan' artillery regiments — marks the latest stage in a two-decade effort to reshape land warfare. This aims to shorten the interval between political decision-making and military action, and to respond to the 'new normal' established by Operation Sindoor and doctrinal changes by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). While building on earlier initiatives such as the Integrated Battle Group (IBG) concept, experts stress this is a distinct evolution — aligning force structure, technology, logistics, command and control, and doctrine to create an

Man gets three-year jail term for involvement in fake Indian currency smuggling syndicate
Mumbai, A special NIA court here on Monday sentenced a man to more than three years of rigorous imprisonment for his involvement in a fake Indian currency notes smuggling syndicate. Man gets three-year jail term for involvement in fake Indian currency smuggling syndicate Special NIA judge Chakor Baviskar sentenced Karnataka-based Radhakrishna Addappa after he pleaded guilty to the crime. The court also imposed a fine of ₹2,000 on the convict. However, since he has been in jail for over three years, he is entitled to a set off for the period spent under detention. Addappa was facing trial under IPC sections for criminal conspiracy, selling or buying of counterfeit currency and common intention. He was the third accused to be convicted in the case. The convict requested leniency, claiming he was repentant for his actions and that it was his first offence of this nature. The prosecution, represented by Special Public Prosecutor Vinit Kulkarni, acknowledged the seriousness of the offences, which are considered a threat to the country's economy, but left the final decision to the court. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the court sentenced Addappa to three years in jail, noting there are no antecedents of such offences against the accused. NIA investigations revealed he had handed over fake currency to a co-accused at a KSRTC Bus Stand in Gauribidnur in the Chikkaballapura district of Karnataka, a statement from the probe agency said. Addappa was among the three accused charge-sheeted by the NIA in the case in January 2020 based on various incriminatory digital and documentary evidence collated during the probe. Co-accused Jasim alias Wasim Salim Shaikh and Ishak Khan were earlier, in separate judgements, sentenced by the NIA special court to five years, seven months and 10 days, and five years of rigorous imprisonment, respectively, along with a ₹5,000 fine on each. The case relates to the recovery of FICN of face value of ₹82,000 in the denomination of ₹500 in 2019. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

PM Modi chairs high-level meeting to discuss roadmap for next-generation reforms
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday chaired a high-level meeting to deliberate on the roadmap for next-generation reforms aimed at speedy and comprehensive reforms that will enhance Ease of Living, improve Ease of Doing Business, and foster inclusive prosperity. PM Modi also talked of GST reforms and said this Diwali will be "double Diwali" for people.(X/@narendramodi) "Chaired a meeting to discuss the roadmap for Next-Generation Reforms. We are committed to speedy reforms across all sectors, which will boost Ease of Living, Ease of Doing Business and prosperity," Prime Minister said in a post on X. In his Independence Day address, PM Modi said the government has decided to constitute a task force for next-generation reforms. "This task force will complete its work within a set timeframe. Current rules, laws, policies, and procedures must be re-drafted to suit the 21st century, to fit the global environment, and to align with the vision of making Bharat a developed nation by 2047. The task force has been created to accomplish this within the prescribed period," he had said. "These reforms will give courage to all those who wish to shape their future. Be it our start-ups, our small industries, or our cottage industries, entrepreneurs will see a significant reduction in their compliance costs, which in turn will give them new strength. In the field of exports too, changes in logistics and systems will give them a major advantage," he added. PM Modi had said the past decade has been one of Reform, Perform, and Transform. "But now, we must add new strength to our efforts. In recent times, we have undertaken many reforms--whether in the field of FDI, in the insurance sector, in allowing global universities to establish campuses in Bharat. We have abolished more than 40,000 unnecessary compliances. Not only that, we have also scrapped over 1,500 obsolete laws. We have gone to Parliament to amend dozens of laws to simplify them, always placing the interests of the public first. This time too, amidst the ruckus, the news may not have reached people about a very significant reform that has taken place in the Income Tax Act," he said. "We have decided to abolish more than 280 sections. And friends, our reforms are not limited to the economic front alone--we have also implemented reforms to make life easier for citizens. The promptness of income tax refunds is a result of reforms. Cashless assessments are a result of reforms. Exempting income up to ₹12 lakh from income tax--this has brought great joy to my middle-class families, who are eager to contribute to nation-building. Never before did anyone imagine that income up to ₹12 lakh could be entirely tax-free, but we have made it a reality today," he added. PM Modi also talked of GST reforms and said this Diwali will be "double Diwali" for people. "This Diwali, I am going to make it a double Diwali for you. This Diwali, you fellow countrymen are going to get a very big gift. In the last 8 years, we have done a big reform of GST, reduced the tax burden across the country, simplified the tax regime and after 8 years, the need of the hour is that we should review it once. We started the review by setting up a high-power committee and also held discussions with the states," he said. "We are coming with the next generation of GST reforms, this will be a gift for you this Diwali, taxes needed by the common man will be reduced substantially, a lot of facilities will be increased. Our MSMEs, our small entrepreneurs, will get a huge benefit. Everyday items will become very cheap and that will also give a new boost to the economy," he added. PM Modi pushed for self-reliance in various sectors. He said that India's farmers, cattle rearers, and fishermen are our biggest priorities. "Modi is standing like a wall against any harmful policy related to the farmers of India, the fishermen of India and the cattle rearers of India. India will never accept any compromise regarding its farmers, its livestock farmers, its fishermen," he said. India and the US have been negotiating a Bilateral Trade Agreement and Washington DC is keen on India giving more access to its farming and dairy sectors. The United States has imposed 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods. After imposing 25 per cent tariff, US President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent more tariff on India for the import of Russian oil. PM Modi said reform is a continuous process and reforms must be undertaken as per the demands of the times and prevailing circumstances. The Prime Minister said India has opened the doors to nuclear energy to the private sector. "In the field of nuclear energy, we have introduced major reforms. We have now opened the doors of nuclear energy to the private sector as well, we want to combine our strengths," he said.
